This is where you will find work for Mrs Ward's Dahl class. There will be daily Numeracy and Literacy along with ongoing Phonics and Spelling activities and a mix of Science, Topic and RE along with other enrichment activities to keep your children's brains busy.
Please can you continue to read daily with your children and to practise times tables using Time Tables Rockstars.
If you have any worries or concerns, please use the Remind App to contact me and I will get back to you ASAP.
Please just do what you can to help your children during these difficult times and take plenty of breaks. I do NOT expect you to complete all the work every day but would love to see what you do get done on Remind.
We miss you all and can't wait to have you back in class,
Mrs Ward, Mrs Henman and Mrs Otter

TOPIC
-
A knight was a mounted soldier who performed military service for a nobleman. A man was created a knight by being dubbed (struck on both shoulders with a sword). This was a ceremony that was usually performed in church. In return for a grant of land or money, the knight did military service for his lord on a set number of days.
To go into battle a knight needed a horse, a shield, a lance, a sword and a hauberk. The knight also wore a conical helmet that had a nose guard for further protection against blows to the face. Norman knights also used spurs and stirrups. Spurs were used to drive the horse forward in battle. Stirrups enabled the knight to keep his legs straight during battle. This held him securely in place while delivering or receiving blows.
- Can you label the knight?
