Aimed primarily at family groups, this series of packs is also intended as a useful resource for teachers planning site visits. Each one contains two activity cards which encourage observational skills, and a wallchart with practical ideas to use in the classroom. This pack focuses on Battle Abbey. It encourages children to imagine themselves as either Saxon or Norman soldiers taking part in the Battle of Hastings and what it might have felt like; and also to imagine life in the abbey as either a novice monk or abbot. The wallchart shows how to make your own stained-glass window, and a chainmail tunic and helmet.
