Recap your learning on 1066 and the rightful heir to the throne with a lesson from Oak Academy.
In this lesson we are going to be learning about three men who were battling to become King of England in 1066. We will start by learning about Edward the Confessor, whose death prompted Harold Godwinson, William I and Harald Hardrada to battle for his throne. We will learn about the battles that took place in 1066, including the most famous battle: the Battle of Hastings. In this lesson you will need a piece of paper, a pencil and your brain.

Make a Time Capsule!
Before starting your Time Capsule, talk to your family about what time capsules are and how you can create one together based on your current situation.
In the future, people will look back upon this time as a major event in our history. This won't last forever but it is a major event that one day you will be telling your own children about what life was like!
These resources can help you put a time capsule together to look back on in years to come. Store the box somewhere safe and dry. You could also take some photos of a typical day in your household and put these in too. If you really want to, you might be allowed to bury your time capsule for someone else to find - check this is ok with your parents first!
If you are not able to print the sheets, you could create your own with the same designs or just use these as inspiration! You could even write your ideas on your tablet or computer and save your time capsule electronically if you can't print it.
