Know and use appropriate historical vocabulary to communicate about historical events and people.

Describe main changes within a time period (social, religious).

World War Two

We have researched the causes of World War Two as well as some of the key events during this time. Using our inquiry skills, we looked at the impact of the axis and allied powers and discussed how this created a world war. We have approached each lesson with an open mind to understand why leaders made difficult decisions.

Module 2

The Industrial Revolution

In Module 2 we shall be investigating the Industrial Revolution and how energy use has changed over time. During this time period, coal (non-renewable) was the main source of energy and helped to power new inventions, such as the steam engine. The effects of the Industrial Revolution were vast, with major changes occurring in transport, technology and manufacturing. Socially, not all people shared the same views however, with differences between the upper, middle and lower classes especially.

Module 1

Local Study - Chatham Dockyard

Chatham Dockyard, which was built in 1618, is the focus of our local study for history. I have researched the dockyard and can explain that it was built to support the Royal Navy after a series of trade wars with the Dutch in the 17th Century. Many significant ships and submarines were built at the dockyard, including the Ocelot, Sunne and Victory. In the past, the population of Chatham has increased rapidly, with the dockyard having a direct impact on the Medway Towns and the employment levels.

Chronology of Chatham Dockyard

Chatham Dockyard was establish as a Royal Navy Dockyard in 1618. It was incredibly important during the 17th century - during the Dutch Raids - but was then utilised more as a ship building and repair dockyard.

The Dutch Raid

During the Dutch Raids, we learnt that the Dutch sailed down the Medway River towards Chatham. Although the Dutch captured the King's ship, they did not reach the dockyard itself, where significant damage could have been inflicted.
