An extraordinary amount of ingenuity, research and effort was on display in Miss Nicholls’ Year 7 History classes this week.
The groups have spent the past month planning and preparing for their presentations on the development of Norman castles and now they had the chance to show off their finished projects.
Miss Nicholls said, “The students have been studying how the Normans established control in England after 1066 and were tasked with designing and presenting their own versions of the Motte and Bailey and Stone Keep castles. They were given a brief, which included preparing a presentation on all stages of the process, from research and preparation to the construction of their castles.”
The finished results were astonishing, with creations ranging from models and sketches to animations and cakes. A phenomenal amount of work had clearly gone into the projects. All the students scored their peers a deserving 10/10 for effort, rightfully so.
One group even created a short animation of a battle scene:
