Our main Autumn Term Topic is called:

​

‘Movers and Shakers

 

  • The five statements from Dawson's model that will help them identify people who are historically significant.

  •  They will use the words year, decade and century to describe dates and times.

  • They will study the life and impact of a significant person in the locality and of 10 significant individuals from around the world.

  • They will complete in-depth studies of significant explorers Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, and significant activists Emmeline Pankhurst and Rosa Parks and think carefully about the impact of their actions.

  • They will carry out an independent study of a significant person from the past and learn about people who are significant today.

  • They will also learn how significant people are commemorated and design a memorial for a person they have studied.
