The London Archives’ Medieval Lives Workshop
Key Info
In this session, students will investigate a variety of original documents from 1066-1509 to find out what they reveal about life in the Medieval period.
Students will consider questions around the state and civil rights through examinations of sections from the Magna Carta and the City of London Letter Books, before breaking off into groups to work with documents concerning religion, occupations, health, the economy, crime and punishment, in a range of supported activities designed to build curiosity and confidence in working with original material from this period.
About The London Archives
Following an exciting redevelopment of their learning programme, The London Archives are thrilled to introduce their new range of engaging and in-depth learning sessions for primary and secondary school students.
Each session supports the history curriculum at KS1 to KS4 showcasing their unique collection of historical documents and providing structured and well-paced activities designed to develop history enquiry skills, build confidence working with primary sources and support learning back in the classroom.
Led by experienced history facilitators, their free two-hour sessions allow students to get inspired by London’s past!
A lunch space is available to use for 30 minutes after morning workshops. Schools coming for afternoon workshops are asked to eat before arriving.
