Summer Term
Castles and Kingdoms
In the Castles and Kingdoms project, children will come face to face with William of Normandy, the ruthless ruler of the Normans, and find out about his people and his plans to conquer England. Acting as history detectives, they’ll investigate the Bayeux Tapestry. They’ll use art materials and ICT to draw sections of the tapestry and create and decorate Norman helmets. After they’ve explored interactive maps of surviving Norman castles in Wales, they’ll create storyboards and timelines of the Norman invasion and make mini castles and fact files about Norman strongholds. Using computer software, they’ll create a cartoon version of the story of Ifor Bach, Lord of Senghenydd, and invent powerful mottos for Welsh princes from the 12th and 13th centuries. They’ll also write news reports about the spread of the Black Death and eyewitness reports detailing the Edwardian conquest of Wales. At the end of the project, they’ll plan for a lavish Norman feast and set out an itinerary for a visit to a Norman castle.
