A fantastic way to introduce Y7s to castle terminology. They are given a budget to build virtual castles and then see how they fare when they come under attack! Differentiated writing frames are included for a report to William about how to defend their castles. All the information needed to teach the lesson is included, along with teaching notes and worksheets.

I used the resource almost exactly as suggested last year with my Y7. We all enjoyed it. I plan to use it again with next year's Y7. I am a trainee teacher and I found it all very logical and self explanatory.
