We've been learning to put things in chronological order (time order). Year 5 worked in partnership to arrange members of the class into a human timeline!
The first record we have of Vikings arriving in Britain is in 787 CE, although they probably had visited before that date. The first date on the timeline we looked at in class was 793 CE, when the Vikings attacked Lindisfarne Monastery in Northumbria. There were lots of other interesting events on our timeline, including several arguments over who should rule over different areas of Britain!
We also practised reading dates, and learned that when a date has four digits, such as 1066 CE, we split the date into pairs, and say, "ten sixty-six," rather than, "one thousand and sixty-six." Why do you think we do that?
