Inspiration for using ruins to teach primary history in schools and at home

This PowerPoint investigates how ruins can offer an insight into the history of a buiilding, a village, national history and can be used as the incentive for a larger project including art and design and technology. It provides ideas for using the ruins themselves as a learning tool for the building’s history and then ideas for a wider project. If you are thinking of using local ruins, then this is a presentation to use before you plan your unit of work.
