Rats and fleas!

Today middle school are finding out what caused the plague!

Here they are making sure everyone in their group will be able to play our key word game- river of death!









Here are the volunteers demonstrating their knowledge:













The class worked in pairs to write a postcard from 17thC Edinburgh describing what the city was like...












Each pair had their postcard assessed by the rest of the class:







We have looked at the rather sinister meaning behind the rhyme 'ring a ring a roses'...






And we have investigated the causes of the plague...











The class used their imaginations and some percussion instruments to write a rap that will help them remember what caused the plague and some of the worst causes!



Now the class are working on Public Health Warning leaflets- making them as factually and historically accurate as possible!
