Today we learned that a Primary Source of information is any piece of evidence from the past that was made in the time period it tells us about. We identified that some examples of primary sources are artefacts, statues, newspaper articles, letters and diaries. Next, we worked in groups to find genuine primary sources of evidence from time of the Scottish Wars of Independence…

We then shared our findings with the rest of the class…

We were able to justify our reasons for our choices. For example, Rachael explained that you could look at the date of an artefact to see when it was made. Caius told us that the word ‘replica’ tells us that the item might not be from the original time period.

Here is our finished Ragman Roll with our personalised wax seals. It’s not a primary source of information because it was made in this classroom last week!

We are still taking time to evaluate our lessons. Here are some of today’s comments:

‘I enjoyed writing a chapter summary and I think we should do more visualisers.’

‘You could make it trickier by adding more success criteria.’

‘I enjoyed the lesson because there’s a time limit and you need to work fast.’

‘I felt as if it was a 2 minute lesson because it was fun.’

‘I really enjoyed language because it was interesting.’

‘Make language more fun.’

Thanks again P6. I will try my best!
