Year 5 News

On Wednesday, we had a fantastic Norman Day in school.  In the morning, we were told all about the many weapons a Norman soldier would have had and got the opportunity to hold them and try on Norman helmets.  We were all really surprised how heavy the chainmail was and couldn't believe the Normans would have been able to fight under the weight of it.  In the afternoon, we played a game called Merels which was very tricky and you had to be very strategic.  We also had a go at solving Norman riddles and learnt about the tactics the Normans used to help them win the Battle of Hastings.
