What a great way to learn about the many monarchs of Britain! Well done Year 5!
Year 5 have been creating timelines of the British monarchs, starting with Edward the Confessor. We then researched key facts about each monarch and made a note of them under their image. @GaskellPrimary @GaskellHistory
