World Book Day

You probably know that today is World Book Day. We will be celebrating this in a different way later this term so I have provided an extra English activity to complete tomorrow.

Geography/History

Please find Durham city on the map dated 4.3.21, then look carefully at the pictures of Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral.

Questions to discuss with a grown-up:

What do you notice about where the castle was built? Is it on high or low ground? Why might this be?
What do you notice about the distance between the castle and the cathedral? Why might this be?
Look again at the map – can you see how near we are to Scotland?

Clues:

Durham Cathedral is very important to many people because it is where St Cuthbert and St Bede are buried
Durham Cathedral used to contain lots of other treasures (it still does today!)
Scotland and England used to have lots of battles against each other many years ago

These questions should help you to understand why Durham Castle was built where it is!
