The Victorians IDL- Timelines:

Today you will be creating a timeline of important events in the Victorian times.  You’ll remember from our workshop that the Victorian era is defined from 1837 when Victoria became Queen until 1901 when Victoria died.

Timelines must be structured in chronological order.  You should start with 1937 and end with 1901.  Try to include at least 10 events/ inventions/ important dates within your timeline.  You can use the internet for your own research.

If you are struggling then have a look at these event cards to help you:

Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4

You should include words and pictures in your timeline, and remember to add in the dates of each event!

To finish off for today, here is a horrible histories song all about Victorian inventions!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

War Memorial Board Research

We have been researching some of the names found on our school WW2 memorial board using the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website.

This activity has allowed us to give more context to Remembrance Day and work as detectives to find out more information about the names on the board that we walk past every day.

Next time, we’ll all pause a moment and remember the sacrifices made by these men from our village.

Climate Change Art

We have been enjoying learning about the COP26 event in Glasgow and really interested about the climate crisis.  We watched a clip from David Attenborough’s “Frozen Planet” and discussed his impact statement about melting ice caps:

In the past 30 years, we’ve seen these effects of global warming escalate: areas of Arctic sea ice have melted that is larger than Norway, Sweden and Denmark combined. Summer sea ice in the Arctic has reduced by 40% in 40 years.

We created these polar bear images in response to the climate crisis, using water colours and black markers.

This links with Article 12 from the UNCRC “Every child has the right to have a say in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously”.

Relative Clauses

Today we learned about relative clauses!  We found out that a relative clause adds detail an description to our sentences.  We created pop open pamphlets to show how adding a relative clause to a sentence can make them more complex and add detail.

We used the “sentence burgers” to investigate how to construct a sentence using a relative clause.
