At the start of our week we spent some time listening to the story of Beowulf and how he killed the monster Grendel by ripping his arm off! The monster was killing the Danes in their mead hall and Beowulf traveled to them from Geatland in his longship to help them! We’ve been told the story isn’t over yet and we’ll learn more at the end of the week, some of us who have heard this story before have predicted his mother will make an appearance but we’ll have to wait and see how that goes -written by the Narwhals class
