Our topic began with the hook of a mysterious battle scene somehow having travelled from Medieval times and into our class 2022! Year 1 were careful detectives who investigated the evidence. Harold? Edward? William? Hastings...can you work out what had just taken place here in 1066?
Welcome to Year 1!
