Project Overview
Develop children’s knowledge of 14th century England with our pre-planned Year 5 history project, Peasants, Princes and Pestilence. Our high-quality teaching resources help children learn about life in medieval times, including the effects and impact of the Black Death.
It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
