Term 1 2024 - '1066'
1066
It’s probably the most famous date in English history... we’re travelling back to 1066! King Edward is dying, so we’ll find out who is vying for the role of king. We’ll research the events of 1066 using books and online information. What was the Battle of Hastings, and how did it change our country? We’ll discover what life was like for Norman people, what they ate, how they lived, and what jobs they did. We’ll be history detectives, looking closely at the Bayeux Tapestry and sketching parts of it. We’ll use different source materials to research Norman castles and online maps to locate them. We’ll find out about the Domesday Book and why it is still useful to historians today.
Below, a copy of the knowledge organiser for each topic is available to download in the document list.
