So, we're beginning with our first unit of study: Significant People. The sub-title of it is 'They Made A Difference' and in it we'll be researching and studying people from different cultures and different countries, looking at the way that they have changed the world and what effect they have had on the people around them.
We'll be asking the children to think about famous people and to consider whether famous is the same as important. They'll be looking for famous artists and musicians and trying to find out what it is that has made those people famous. Why do we know their names all these years after they lived? Or perhaps they are famous now.
To help you in your research, I have listed some internet resources in the sidebar on the right. Please use them, along with anything else you might find, to help you find out about the lives of these significant people. Please remember though, the information that you find is for you to take and use, changing it into your own words. Do not just print off a page from a website and try to hand it in.
If you find anything interesting anywhere else that you think might help the rest of us, post a comment on this post and I'll share it with the class.
