A word in your era! Historical writing
VICTORIAN - Y3 Focusing on local history, Y3 are looking at the Black Country’s influence in the Industrial Revolution. They will be concentrating on learning about canals, bridges and the development of transportation over the centuries. The extract of writing is based upon a diary from the workers who created the canals. Zoom in and enjoy the whole piece on our ‘Abbey Lens’ web page. Here’s a taster:
‘I stick scaffolds endlessly. And where we go to the toilets, even worse we have a hole in the ground
instead of a fancy toilet!’ Well done Harriet in 3B!
WW2 Posing questions of significance about the WW2 topic, Y6 children will be analysing historical sources of evidence. WW2 was a significant period in British history and the implications are still felt today. Children will examine how local and national life was affected, including a detailed look at propaganda, evacuation, rationing, the role of
women in the War and The Blitz. Again zoom in but here’s an extract:
‘Olive and Cliff were evacuated in a propaganda called ‘Operation Pied Piper’. When the majority of children were evacuated to different homes to seek shelter. Children travlelled with a small suitcase or bag containing their clothes, food and another box containing a gas mask’. Well done Will in 6V.
