In our history lesson in Base 10, we were looking at the Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great and his conflict with the Vikings.
We split into groups and came up with a debate as to why Alfred the Great was so great…
We had three debate groups:
Group One: His defences (burhs, navy, armies).
Group Two: His laws (fair justice system).
Group Three: His passion for learning (schools, books).
Once we had conducted our debates, we voted ‘his passion for learning’ to be the top reason why he was so great!
