Another busy week in Year 6!
In history, this week, we have looked at the Battle of Hastings and how wars back then were fought using soldiers and horses. Their energy levels were important in whether they were successful or not, so we looked at the background of the battle, with many of Harold Godwinson's soldiers being marched down from another battle, near York, to the Battle of Hastings. We discussed whether it was bad luck, mistakes by Godwinson or both that led to his defeat by William the Conqueror.
