In our first History lesson we looked at evidence from the past and how we could find things out. We discussed that we could use things such as the internet, books, educational visits and speaking to people older than us to find out things and to make sure they are true. During this lesson, we looked at a range of pictures from the Victorian period and shared our thoughts regarding the materials the objects may be made from, what the objects could be and what they could have been used for.
N.C The lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements. Some should be used to compare aspects of life in different periods [for example, Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, William Caxton and Tim Berners-Lee, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and LS Lowry, Rosa Parks and Emily Davison, Mary Seacole and/or Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell]
N.C Significant historical events, people and places in their own locality.
We have been comparing Medway during the Victorian times and now. We looked at our local area and shared our thoughts on how it has changed, especially Hoo Peninsula.

We ended the module by having a Victorian Day.
The children sat at their own desks or in pairs and could only sit with people the same gender. We completed lessons similar to what happened during the Victorian times such as arithmetic, spelling practise and drill (PE). When an adult entered the room all children needed to stand behind their chairs and acknoledge the adult.
In our history lessons we have started to learning about The Wright Brothers and how they completed the first flight.
Our first lessons focused on past and present and learning about their lives and then creating a comic strip about them.
N.C Significant historical events, people and places in their own locality.
After learning about key information about the Wright Brothers, we focused on comparing aircrafts from the past and what we have in the present day. We looked at how they had changed over time and even got to design an aircraft for the future!
