Activity to encourage students to consider who might have been king in 1066 - who had the best claim, who was most popular etc It worked well with the PP. Once the lesson was completed, students had the opportunity to can their voting slips, many did and were able to explain how and why their views had changed.

The PowerPoint begins with a 'witch bottle&' starter, to intrigue students! They could design their own witch bottle. The PowerPoint goes on to look at images of witchcraft and cases brought to trial. It concludes with punishments, which my class acted out in short sketches, and really enjoyed doing, There are questions to focus/ direct learning and check that learning has occurred.

Walk round Tudor England 3. Speed Dating 4. Henry VIII on trial. The additional resources are included. This was delivered to a group of very able Yr 5-6s, but would also be suitable for Yr 7-8s.
