 In support of history at Key Stage 3, we can cover the period of history spanning the Hundred Years war 1337 to 1453 including the War of the Roses.
We will recreate everyday activities from the period to act as a backdrop to demonstrations of the skills and activities that fed, clothed, housed and entertained the lives of medieval people.
Using events from this period and linking them to locations around the school we can recreate history to show how people were governed and allow pupils to interact and play key roles in the production.
Activities we offer:
Learning how to cook medieval food The pupils bring food to school and we will prepare a medieval meal over an open fire. We will send you a recipe beforehand .
A Medieval Law Court We will set up a court with a Shire-Reeve [Sheriff] where the pupils can settle disputes. What happens when two parts don’t agree? The pupils play the parts – The accused and the plaintiffs. The pupils write their own scripts beforehand.
