History
The Italian Job
Children watch a car chase scene from the original Italian Job and try and guess its date. They create their own car chase using toy cars and film to show the rest of the class.
Trains
Children look at trains from different ages, then try to make a moving vehicle using magnets, then have a competition involving choosing magnetic metal objects.
The Moon
Children explore the surface of the moon using a website, carry out the activity they didn’t do in session 12, then have a nanorover race.
TV Adverts
Children look at kitchen gadgets and early TV adverts and then work in groups to make up an advert for the first microwave, then act it out for the rest of the class.
Well-Known Immigrants
Most immigrants who have come to Britain have brought skills with them. Many immigrants or descendants of immigrants have become well-known in the fields of sport, entertainment, politics and the professions. Children research and list examples.
Windrush
Read the poem Windrush Child by John Agard and get children’s reactions. Give brief history of SS Windrush’s journey to Britain in 1948. Children either mark the journey on a map or answer questions about photographs to do with Caribbean immigration on the Windrush.
