The history of the river Thames and mudlarks

I created this powerpoint to support a trip for the children to ecperience mudlarking. This lesson starts with a timeline activity (free to download from twinkl), learning about The Great Stink using videos, an d the history of mudlarks where children analyse a text in small parts. Each part of the learning is assessed with a fun quiz based on historical events/dates, mudlarking and smelly facts about The Great Stink! There is also a slide covering modern day mudlarks and chn get to look at some finds.

This could be useful before or after visiting the foreshore or Museum of London.
