Our current theme is 'Stopping Slavery'

 

Our aim in teaching history as squirrels is to broaden pupils’ historical horizons so they are learning not only about the more recent past but also about ancient civilisations. Pupils should be exploring source materials and begin to look for bias and accuracy. In this phase, pupils should recognise that some aspects of the past can be interpreted in different ways, and it is up to them as present-day historians to be aware that people in the past can tell their stories differently. History in this phase also encourages pupils to, not only explore similarities and differences, but inclusivity across diverse societies. In the unit ‘Stopping Slavery’, pupils will compare how slavery has been imposed on a range of societies and how people from very different backgrounds can work towards a common goal (Sojourner Truth and William Wilberforce). Pupils should also now recognise that they should not only question why changes happen over time, but they should review the consequences of those changes, such as the legacies left by the Ancient Greeks or the development of the United Nations after the Second World War.

 

Our current class novel is 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes.
