Team DB had a great day learning about significant individuals from history. They shared their facts from home and voted for the best costume and person who was most interesting to learn about with the most interesting facts.
See if you can spot Mary Anning, Albert Einstein, Jane Austen, Florence Nightingale, George Hearst, Abraham Lincoln, Lewis Hine, Sir Nigel Gresley, Coco Chanel and Anne Frank. Here are some of the amazing inspirational people that Team CH have been teaching their class about today.
There were some amazing costumes including Rosa Parks who Team CH have previously learnt about. What an inspirational lady! Today in school every class has celebrated inspirational figures from history. Everyone researched a historical figure at home and brought 5 or more facts to share with their class. There were some AMAZING costumes and some very inspirational characters that changed the world in such positive and significant ways. Each class voted for their favourite costume and the inspirational figure with the most interesting facts that they enjoyed learning about the most. There were lots of important themes and concepts that were explored and discussed including women's rights, democracy, monarchy, inventions in technology and healthcare, invasion and society and culture including changes in clothing, transport, trade and daily life.
The History Ambassadors voted for the teacher with the best and most accurate costume. Congratulations to Miss Crossfield for her fantastic Cleopatra costume and to Mr Davison for his fantastic Roman Emperor costume! Here are some of the adults in school dressed as their inspirational person or as a person from an era that had many positive impacts on our world today. See if you can spot Jane Austen, Edith Cavell, Frida Kahlo, Dian Fossey, 1960's hippies who oppose violence and war and a member of the Home Guard from the 1940's amongst others! Team EO had lots of fun dressing up as their chosen inspirational figure and sharing lots of interesting facts about them!
Some of our inspirational figures included Florence Nightingale, Edith Cavell, Geoff Hurst, Dr Alex Fleming, Neil Armstrong, Cleopatra, Pablo Picasso, Pele and Anne Frank! We awarded two certificates, one for the best and most accurate costume, and one for the person who was most interesting to learn about and had the most interesting facts, well done to Cleopatra and Dr Alex Fleming! Here are some of our inspirational figures and our interesting facts! Team AC had a wonderful day when they took part in the school Inspirational Figures in History Day. There were some amazing costumes and characters represented in Team AC and the children enjoyed finding out about each others inspirational people. See if you can work out who they are!
We had an AMAZING day in school today, full of fun and learning! Children and staff were invited to use their creative thinker skills and come to school dressed as someone significant from the past, to celebrate our knowledge of History!
Each child joined in and we saw some fantastic outfits - as well as some very creative ideas! All of the children were expected to come with 5 new facts about their significant person, to share with others, so as they too could learn more about more people! In Team HG we had a brilliant time sharing our knowledge of our significant person. We had information about Florence Nightingale, Boudicca, Emmeline Pankhurst, Abraham Lincoln, Queen Victoria, Julius Caesar, Captain Tom Moore, Marcus Rashford, Isaac Newton, Neil Armstrong, Spartacus, Al Capone and Cleopatra! Today the Rainbows had so much fun dressing up as their favourite historical character and sharing facts about them. We learnt that people in the past changed our world so we can have the life we had today. We talked about lots of interesting things including women's rights, technology and medicines.
Some of the inspirational figures we chose to teach our friends about were Emmeline Pankhurst, Neil Armstrong, Charles Dickens, Marie Curie, Edward Jenner, Andy Warhol, Cleopatra, Tutankhamun and medieval kings including Henry VIII. Miss Clementson came as Amy Johnson (the first female aviator to fly solo from London to Australia) Miss Hanson came as Katherine Switzer (the first woman to run the Boson marathon) and Miss Hodgson came as the singer Prince. The Rainbows were really keen to learn about these inspirational figures and asked lots of questions to find out more. The were puzzled to hear that women were not always able to do the same things as men and said how unfair it was. We learnt lots of new words including "suffragette" "evacuee" "vaccine" and "medieval." We awarded two certificates, one for the best and most accurate costume, and one for the person who was most interesting to learn about and had the most interesting facts. Well done to one of our Emmeline Pankhurst's and also to one of our Neil Armstrong's! Here are some of our inspirational figures. See if you can guess who we are! Team CH have begun learning about the significant individual William the Conqueror. They have looked at the chronology of events in 1066 and placed them in the correct order. They also generated some questions they would like to ask William the Conqueror if they met him.
Here is some of their work. The History Ambassadors have been interested to learn about the profile of history through school and how children's work, key vocabulary and facts are showcased within classrooms and other areas of school.
The ambassadors visited all the classrooms to look at the quality of history displays and how helpful they are to learning and what evidence of history work they show. They were surprised with the information and facts they found in classes as well as timelines being on display. They will meet again to discuss their findings and to see if there are any ways we can enhance our learning environment at Park Street. |
