Year 5/6 had an engaging start to their new history unit, with questions that allowed children to think more deeply about the definition of ‘crime’ and ‘punishment’. Children used what they knew, had heard about or read about in stories or online to debate how they thought crime had changed over time, and what was deemed an appropriate punishment…
Children then used timeline cards covering aspects of the unit to focus their discussions, ordering them in a chronological sequence that they could explain.
What a great start to an intriguing unit! Well done, everyone!
