Lewis Chessmen

Today, P5/6 made our very own Lewis Chess pieces. These pieces were found on the Isle of Lewis and are thought to date from the 13th century. As we were  finishing our People of Medieval Scotland topic (POMS), we thought this was a lovely way to say good bye to the 13th and 14th centuries. Renee made a fantastic bishop!

Before we finalise this topic, we are going to upload to the blog our group news reports about famous battles and sieges leading up to the Battle of Bannockburn. Watch this space for more details.
