The Normans

Miss Horkan  taught us about the Normans and we made a Norman’s Motte and Bailey castle.  We made the Motte with a cardboard box and lollypop sticks.  We made the Bailey with a cardboard box and papier mache then we painted it green.

 

We also made a cartoon of a battle between the Normans and the Irish using a digital camera and PowerPoint.  The Normans won!

The Norman Fight

 

It was a dark dull day.

There was no sound to be heard.

We saw the Irish along the horizon.

We got ready for battle as fast as we could.

We saddled our horses and galloped away.

We got the archers with their bows.

The cavalry went after them.

The foot soldiers held their shields,

Waiting to finish them off.

They fought till they dropped.

We won.  Victory for us, so let's have a feast

To celebrate.
