On the 5th April, the Year 4’s were treated to a
fun day enjoying lots of activities based on their topic, The Normans. During
the morning, we were treated to a visit from Tom, our resident Norman expert.
He gave us plenty of interesting information about the origins of names, the
weapons used in battle and even some information about the diets of The
Normans. We were even allowed to re-enact The Battle of Hastings on the field
(foam weapons obviously!)
The battling was
something Ethan really enjoyed!
In the afternoon, we carried on the fun with some Art and
Drama activities in groups! It was great to gain lots more information and
share what we already knew about our topic with the visitor! All of the
costumes looked fabulous and it rounded off our topic beautifully!
