Y5 started to read the text Beowulf last week. We were text detectives and searched for information about King Hrothgar from the book. Once we knew a lot about him we talked about what we would ask him if he was in our classroom.
Then the children were put in the hot seat pretending to be King Hrothgar and answer questions from the other children. They were very intimidating warriors and answered questions using what they found from the text.
