Our enquiry question this term…

How did Matthew Hopkins influence the witch hunts in East Anglia?

 In History, we will explore what key factors made the belief in superstition so prevalent in 17th century England, who Matthew Hopkins was and his significant influence on these trials.  Inspired by a ‘Dummies Guide’ series, pupils will explore and write a guide on how to spot a witch. Through this, we will reflect on the impact of the witch trials on society and consider the lessons we can learn from this dark chapter in history.  Furthermore, pupils will go on a field trip to the key historical locations where the witch trials took place in Manningtree.
