Attached are mini-skill sessions for History. These are 30 minute sessions planned for mixed Year 5/6 children but are easily adaptable to Year 7. Each week a new session will be added that looks at a particular skill or area of knowledge that is then followed up by a differentiated mini-activity/ assessment activity for children to complete. 1st session - Time - Look at the different ways of judging time, ordering these before then looking at a timeline. Finish by looking at the years that make each Century. 2nd session - Sources - Looking at the difference between primary and secondary sources as well as then briefly looking at bias and getting children to look at example sources. 3rd session - Sources - Analysing sources for validity and also what they literally show us and what we can infer from them. 4th session - Sources - Analysing sources with prompt sheets to help children. 5th session - Chronology - Being able to place events in chronological order on a timeline/ consider when events may have happened.

Fact files for different aspects of Key Stage 2 History. Included within these are a timeline for the period as well as a key vocabulary section for some of the words children may come across during the topic.

Mini-assessments that cover nearly all of the curriculum statements for Year 5 Maths. The only statements missing relate to estimations and some of the shape statements. The idea is that if they can do a particular question without any teaching or a few weeks after some teaching then you have the evidence to tick and say they can do it. Question 1 generally relates to beginning, 2 is middleish with the third question then helping show they are secure in that statement.
