Upper Key Stage 2

Curriculum Projects

Our Curriculum Project for Summer 2019

Time Traveller!

Time stops for no man - not even us!

This term, we'll meet people from different generations to find out what life was like in the past and we'll predict how things might change in the future with a focus on York. Using our Horrible History of the World text we will explore key characters and create magazine interviews, persuasive pieces to persuade people to live in new civilisations, adventure stories about the fascinating subject of time travel and even create a human timeline of history! We'll also create clock artwork based on the style of Salvador Dali.

Time travel is all about exploring our past and we will create our own digital time capsules and memory collages to finish the year.
