After the death of Alexander the III there was no heir to the throne. The people of Scotland began arguing amongst themselves. They couldn’t decide who should be the next King so they asked King Edward I of England to decide. He was a very powerful man and saw an opportunity to become even stronger. He chose John Baillol to become the next King of Scotland.

We wrote a script describing the meeting between Edward I and the new King of Scotland.

Here are our films!

Look at our powerpoint to see what we have been doing in drama!

We drew portraits of Alexander III. They are brilliant!

This week we have been learning about sound in science. We designed our own posters in pairs.
