We had a fantastic time immersing ourselves in History Day! Each class dressed up to represent different historical periods, helping us step into the past and experience history in a fun and meaningful way. Our costumes sparked curiosity, inspired discussion and brought our learning to life across the whole school.
UNCRC Article 29 – education must develop every child’s personality and talents to their full potential.
Class 1
Class 1 stepped back in time to experience life as World War II evacuees. We imagined what it felt like to leave home with a packed suitcase and label and we learned about the journeys children took to stay safe. The children enjoyed acting out the roles of evacuees and exploring what daily life was like during the war.
Class 2
We have been learning all about the Victorians. We explored what school and home life were like in Victorian times, compared old-fashioned objects with the ones we use today and tried out some traditional Victorian activities.
Class 3
Class 3 have been exploring the fascinating world of Ancient Greece. We learned about the powerful gods and goddesses, took part in a Greek style dance and enjoyed making Greek crafts – we even the chance to try a selection of traditional Greek food!
Class 4
We had an amazing time celebrating History Day as Tudors! We dressed up in Tudor clothing to help us step back in time, took part in traditional Tudor weaving and even performed a Tudor dance for the whole school. We finished the day with a fun and lively class quiz, celebrating the fascinating lives and dramatic trials of the Tudor era.
Class 5
Class 5 stepped into the past as Edwardian passengers aboard the Titanic! We explored what life was like for people travelling in different classes and imagined the excitement of boarding the famous ship. The children enjoyed taking on the roles of passengers, learning about their stories and discovering how the voyage changed their lives. This experience helped us understand the hopes, challenges and social differences of the Edwardian era.
