Peasants, Princes & Pestilence

Learning theme for Y5 & Y6 (summer 2 1415)

Flee your fields, close your doors and pull up the drawer bridge: the dreaded and deathly 'Great Pestilence’ is here! Mount your steed and gallop through the dark and deadly world of 14th Century Britain, sword and shield at the ready, pledging your allegiance to King and Country!

Rouse your troops with promises of bloody battle and violent jousts. Read and write historical accounts, peoples and tales and discover the grotesque effects of bugs and bacteria on the human body.

And if you smell a rat, my friends – get out of there!
