In  p5 we have started a new topic all about the Scottish Wars of Independence and we are all finding it very interesting.  We have learned that Alexander the Third got crowned when he was 8 years old and he got married when he was 10 years old! He was able to rule the country on his own by the age of 20. Unfortunately, he  fell off his horse and fell down a cliff and he died. When he died his granddaughter got crowned queen at the age of 4. Her name was Margaret. She was the Maid of Norway.  As she was travelling from Norway to Scotland she became ill and died on the boat in Orkney. This meant that Scotland was left without a Queen. We’re looking forward to hearing what happens next in the story!
