HISTORY - What have we been up to?

History Challenge Term 6:

 

This term we would like you to create a Comic Strip based on an event or topic in History. This is a great way  to learn more about the event and to practice your creative skills. Perhaps create one of your favourite History topic this year or something new you wish to research!

 

We have attached a template for those who wish to use it.

 

Deadline: Friday 5th July 4pm

History Challenge Term 4:

 

This term we would love the children to do some research and create a FACT PAGE!  

This can be one page of historical information on the life of a significant individual.

Such as the people listed below.... but.... it can be any past significant individual.  

• Christopher Columbus

• Mary Seacole

• Rosa Parks

• Emily Davison

• Queen Elizabeth  

• King Charles

• Albert Einstein

We would love to display these in school.  Please ensure they are all handed into the office by Thursday 21st March 9am. Thank you

History Challenge Term 2:

 

As you will all be aware Armistice Day (Remembrance Day) is on 11th November. We would like to focus our History Challenge on this key event to commemorate those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country in the line of duty and also celebrate and support veterans of combat.

Geography - What have we been up to?

We look at our local area by going on little trips, using maps – paper and digital, we look at climate by measuring temperature and comparing it to other places, we talk about places we’ve been, holidays, trips and find places on the map.

We look at how the world became like it is – oceans, rivers, volcanoes and continents.  

Barnaby and Friends! 

 

 

Barnaby Bear and friends love to travel.  They enjoy going on holiday with the staff and children, exploring the wonderful world in which we live.

 

Barnaby's Friends

Bernard - Bermelie Bear

Oakley - Oaken Bear

Maggie - St Margaret's Bear

Bridget - Kettle Bridge Bear

 

The EYFS children and Pre-School have their own bears. Please let a member of the team know if you would like to take one for a day trip, weekend away or holiday. 

Pre-School - Polly and Peter 

EYFS - Poppy and Percy 

 

For each place visited, see if you can find out where it is - either using a map or atlas, or by zooming in on Google Earth! Think about whether you would like to visit each place.

 

If you take a bear, please take 3 or 4 photos of them and then send them to the school office email - along with a short description of where the photos are taken and a bit about the location: office@barming.kent.sch.uk

 

Mrs Jillians will then pop them on here for us all to see!
