Year 6 visit to Battle Abbey

Stepping back in time Year 6 pupils from St Bede’s Prep School visited Battle Abbey recently to learn more about the Battle of Hastings. Whilst walking around the battlefield, the pupils imagined the sights and sounds of this momentous battle, and learnt about the various stages of the historic occasion. The children enjoyed feeling the weight of Norman and Saxon weapons and armour in the museum and were enthralled by the dramatic and informative video. Now back in the classroom the pupils are writing up their accounts of the Battle of Hastings in class.
