The Medieval Church means seeing how the medieval Church shaped daily life through monasteries, cathedrals, pilgrimage, and wide influence. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.

Materials: Simple cards: monastery, cathedral, pilgrimage; Paper to list why the Church was powerful. 1. Define monk/nun life in a monastery (prayer, work, study — simple version). 2. Say cathedrals were great Church buildings; pilgrimages were religious journeys. 3. List one power reason (land, education, or fear of punishment — keep age-careful). 4. Fresh check: child answers one new prompt on the same idea. Record and stop. Done: Ask what a pilgrimage was. Proof: parent note of examples tried and support used. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.
