Year 1 enjoyed sharing their baby pictures with each other as part of their History lesson. They used them to help them understand the past and present, thinking about how they have changed over time.
In History, Year 2 have been learning about how London developed during the reign of the Normans. The class have learnt about William the Conqueror and the changes he made to London.
Year 3 have stepped back in time, both in their classroom and on their school trip, to experience life as a Roman. They looked at Roman artefacts, and they decided what they were used for and what it told them about life as a Roman. They also visited Murton Park where they transformed into Roman soldiers.
In History, Year 4 have been learning all about the different eras of the Stone Age, starting with the Palaeolithic era. They acted as archaeologists to dig up artefacts, and then they discussed what they might be and what it may show them about life back then. They also looked at artefacts in their Curiosity Crate from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
In their History lesson, Year 5 worked in groups to examine a range of mining-related images. They discussed what they could see and what they could infer, then used this evidence to explain what it tells us about mining in Doncaster. They also stepped back in time to the time of The Victorians when they visited Wilderspin School.
Year 6 have been learning all about WWII. In their History lessons, they have been investigating the impact of The Blitz by looking at pictures. They have also spent time exploring their Crate of Curiosity, which was filled with artefacts relating to their topic, WWII and Nancy Wake. They handled artefacts and discussed in their groups what they thought it was used for, and decided whether it was useful in informing us about life in WWII. They also stepped back in time on their school trip when they Visited Cannon Hall Museum. They decoded messages in morse code, tried on clothing and helmets and baked using recipes from WWII
