An excellent resource, nice activities. Very useful for a non Historian who finds herself teaching History. I wish I could afford the bundle!
Really high quality resources for this unit - as with all RAR resources. Looking forward to seeing more Anglo-Saxon and Norman resources come on as they're so useful. Thanks a lot.
This resource is fantastic for engaging and motivating students. All RAResources are the same and my students love them. Thanks for producing such brilliant lessons.
