At St Michael’s, we aim to:
· Provide the children with the framework of knowledge to become educated citizens (cultural capital) – knowledge is ‘sticky’: the more children know, the easier it is for them to learn more
· Develop a sense of identity- who we are and how we came to be. It helps children to see the diversity of human experiences and develops their understand about themselves as individuals and members of society
· Develop critical thinking
· Develop the concept of historical time and chronology
· Inspire in our children a curiosity and fascination about the world they live in
· Develop an understanding of place within space
· Develop an appreciation that the world goes beyond their border, that they are part of a global community.
Home projects is one way we get the children at St Michael’s to achieve the above points – Here are some examples of the fantastic Spring term projects the children have produced
Year One – Toys
Year Two – Great Fire of London
Year Three – Stone Age
Year Four – Romans
Year Five – Anglo-Saxons and The Vikings
Thank you parents, carers and children for coming to the exhibition.
