YPS History

All the amazing Historians at Yardley Primary School!

[Class 4T @MissTrevisYPS]

Today, we worked like Anglo Saxons and built walls out of natural materials 💪🛖 @YpsHistory

In History today, 2D were looking at the timeline of the Wright brothers and reenacted some of the events. Did you know that the first aeroplane was only in flight for 12 seconds and was made from fabric and wood? @YpsHistory

[Mrs Geary @MrsGearyYPS]

How did we learn to fly?
2T are learning all about The Wright brothers and what they invented. #curiosity @MrsThomas21

[Class 6J @MissJeynes]

In @YpsHistory, we are working together to unpick Ranjit Singh's reforms to the Sikh beliefs, deciding on how these supported people's lives.

[Class 1H @Mr_Hodgkinson]

@YpsHistory learning about the voyage of Christopher Columbus. Building and drawing boats, time lines and role play.

[Class 4H @Mr_HogarthYPS]

Today 4H explored Maya masks. After learning about their importance in Maya culture, we designed and created our own masks. Fantastic creativity on show! @YpsHistory

[Class 4H @Mr_HogarthYPS]

4H have been exploring Maya clothing today. We discovered how what you wore showed your status and wealth, from simple garments for farmers to brightly coloured, decorated clothing for nobles and rulers. @YpsHistory

[Class 1W - Mrs Wilson @mrs_lwilson]

We have been investigating what toys were like within living memory and creating a timeline from oldest to newest. @YpsHistory #curiosity

[Class 1W - Mrs Wilson @mrs_lwilson]

We have been deciding if the toys were played in the past, now or both. #curiosity @YpsHistory

[Mrs Quinn @MrsQuinnYPS]

What type of toy is this? Is it an old or new toy? @YpsHistory #curiosty

[Miss Delaney @MissDelaney15]

In our history lesson this afternoon, we have been learning about Alfred the Great. We have used secondary sources to research facts about him and make a poster about his reign. @YpsHistory #Curiosity #teamwork #inspired

[Miss Harvey @MissHarvey8]

Some really interesting discussions about events during the Battle of Britain today with @missfielding_yp @YpsHistory

[Miss Delaney @MissDelaney15]

In history today, we learned about the 4 claimants who tried to succeed Edward the confessor for the throne of England. Each of them had limited reasons to be king, so we are researching more information and debating as to who we think should've been king. @YpsHistory #teamwork

[Miss Delaney @MissDelaney15]

Debating in our history lesson. Some excellent language and points made in the debate, well done, historians! @YpsHistory #curiosity #confidence

[Miss Fielding @missfielding_yp]

In @YpsHistory we learnt about evacuation during WW2 and considered how the children involved would feel. #Consideration #Curiosity

[Miss Delaney @MissDelaney15]

In History this morning, we are making a wall using wattle and daub. Most anglo-saxon houses were made with either wattle, daub, wood or all 3. @YpsHistory #Creativity #teamwork

[Miss Delaney @MissDelaney15]

Mixing together clay, water and straw to make daub. Then we applied it to our wattle to make our walls! #creativity #determination @YpsHistory
