Wakefield Museums and Castles

Encourage your pupils to take a step back and explore Roman Castleford with 'slow looking' techniques. 

There is a teacher's pack explaining the different slow looking routines, with handy prompts. There are then four PowerPoint slideshows to support slow looking sessions in your lessons. They use beautiful artist's impressions of life in Roman Castleford / Lagentium.

We recommend reading the teacher's pack first.

These resources are for KS2 pupils.
