Year 4 Norman day

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!
