Then they worked in small groups to play their board game creations.

This afternoon, the children in 2R explored the reigns of two more significant monarchs in British history. They started by looking at the reign of Queen Victoria and worked together to create a factual document detailing the impacts of her time on the throne. Next, they looked at the life of our current monarch, Elizabeth II and created a diamond nine model to rank some of the Queen's actions from most significant to least significant.

This afternoon, the children looked at Elizabeth I and considered how she was a significant monarch. They watched some factual videos about her and then read about the actions she took as a young adult and throughout her reign before selecting the impact these actions had. They discovered that she was a very strong, educated and brave sovereign.

This afternoon, Year 2R looked at the Battle of Hastings and how William the Conqueror became the King of England and introduced the Feudal System into England.
