Our new topic: Transport from the Past

Our topic focus this half-term is a history unit all about transport over the years. Our lessons will be based around the enquiry question 'How and why has transport changed over time?'.  

We will compare transport from the past and present and discuss how and why things have changed. We will look in detail at cars, trains and aeroplanes. We will also learn about the exciting inventions of the Wright Brothers and George Stephenson and explore how they changed travel around the world.

Check out the curriculum map attached to see what else we will be learning this half-term. 

Visitors
