I played the games from Mrs. Whiting's blog and it was about the battle of hasting. There were two games and I personally liked the 2nd game. Let me introduce these two games breifely. 1nd game pretty boring - I suggest you not to play. This 2nd game was mostly fighting game where you really get to control the army and attack enemy - really suggest if you are boy or like fighting stuff. The reason I liked this game was that this was actually war game which really attracted me. From this game, I learnt that war isn't easy to do and it's better if we just don't declare a war. I also realized how many people died from the invasion.


This history - battle of hasting begins in 1066 at England. There was a king named Edward who was really sick and old. He needed a successor but he only had one nephew named Egar. However, he was too young to be his successor so instead, he chose Harlord Godwinson. Everyone knew he would be Edward's successor because he had control of army and he was very noble man. Most importantly, his sister was Edward's wife. Therefore, he became a successor of Edward. Soon, Edward died and the day of Edward's burial - Harlord was crowned.
