Primary 5
Scottish Wars of Independence
Primary 5 are enjoying learning about the Scottish Wars of Independence (1286–1320) and comparing life during that period with their own lives today.
Working in collaborative groups, pupils investigated different aspects of medieval life, including clothing, houses, food, jobs, and animals. Each group then shared their findings with their classmates. The pupils were particularly surprised to discover that nobles often wore brightly coloured clothing, while peasants’ clothes were typically itchy and coloured in shades of brown, green, and grey.
