A screenshot of The Bayeux Tapestry online experience

It's now 16 years since I've been in the classroom, but you never really get out of the mindset of being a teacher. As one mug I saw put it "Teachers don't get old, they just lose their class" 😅

I loved teaching History, and particularly 1066 and the Battle of Hastings. This new online resource from the British would have been so great to use with very enthusiastic Year 7's (11-12 years old).

For what it's worth, I've always thought that the guy getting chopped down by the knight on horseback was Harold, not the guy with the arrow in his eye. Apparently, the 'arrow' stitching was added later, in any case...
