► TOPIC

The knights of Danbury, Hall and Wilkie are all ready....

Let's continue the story from yesterday....it's time for the Battle of Hastings and to meet William the Conqueror....

An incredible record of this time remains today...it is called the Bayeux Tapestry.

The Bayeux Tapestry is a fabric picture with stitching on....stitching of pictures and words that was ordered to be made (commissioned) by William to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Hastings and the taking of the English crown. It has survived 1000 years and can be seen in a museum in Normandy in France....

A very clever person has brought the tapestry to life to tell the story of The Battle of Hastings...

Below are some activities you can look through and see what catches your eye. It would be great if you could all have a go at Activity 1.

ACTIVITY 1 - create a modern Bayeux Tapestry picture

The Bayeux Tapestry was a story of the events that took place in 1066.

I want to, with your help, create a Thythorn Tapestry that tells the story of 2020.
