Hall Green Junior School

Welcome back year 5! 

We hope you have had a restful half term break, after a short, but very busy half term. This half term we you will need to get ready to ask lots of questions and use your skills of historical enquiry.

We are travelling back to civilisation many years ago. This civilisation truly connected the world of trade and has had influences in modern society today. Let’s see if you can spot which modern day things we still use from this time period.

There is something awaiting your investigation when you arrive back at school. We need you to use all of your knowledge of different periods of history so far to help make a conclusion about where we might be. You will need to study the items carefully... what conclusions will you make?

You will be stretching your inquisitive learning muscle as we ask questions, draw connections and challenge ideas in this module.

Our golden thread will be: What is the impact of change?

We will discuss and develop our understanding of change and the impacts that it can have not only within a historical period, but over many years to come - even in today’s society.

A few routine reminders after the holidays:

Learning Journals should be in school everyday as new information about reading books, trips, letters, homework and upcoming events will be added throughout the week.
