4^th Grade History and Geography

Coursework

Week Twelve

This week we will be continuing our study of the Middle Ages. We will be finishing up our study of knights and chivalry and review the parts of a castle. We will then be introduced to William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings. Next week we will be making our own version of the Bayeux Tapestry which is a famous tapestry that depicts the Battle of Hastings. Students will also be completing their own Domesday Books at home. I would be grateful if you would also remember to sign and return on Tuesdays the assignment sheets!
