We have been learning about King Edward the Confessor, and who wanted to claim the throne after his death. Four candidates stood forward to present their case and the children were tasked with researching these people before writing a speech to try and persuade the Witan Council of their worthiness for the role. The children enthusiastically embraced this task and delivered powerful speeches, describing how their candidate fulfilled the qualities of a King. The Witan Council of 4M chose Edgar Aethling as the next King and 4U selected William of Normandy!
