Zoom Webinar

This is an online event.

Details

National Curriculum rubric for History at KS1 expects content to cover historically significant individuals and suggests the pairing of Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong as past explorers.

This practical webinar will give examples of a diverse range of explorers who might be studied at KS1, from different backgrounds and periods, with suggested activities that focus on historical enquiry questions linked to different disciplinary concepts.

It is based on recent materials commissioned by the Royal Geographical Society to coincide with a major expedition to discover the wreck of the ship Endurance, used by the Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton.

The sessions will be led by Andrew Wrenn, a knowledgeable history specialist and an honorary fellow of the Historical Association. He is an experienced teacher, trainer and writer, former LA adviser and co-author of the HA`s report on Teaching Emotive and Controversial History 3-19. Andrew recently led highly evaluated training on the impact of the new OFSTED framework on Primary History
