About This Product:
Part 1 of the “Looking Back: Child Labour” resource focuses on children who worked as climbing boys, for master chimney sweeps, in the early nineteenth century. It is an informative and interactive teaching tool for children aged 8-13. This pack is perfect for reinforcing key historical skills and helping children acquire important knowledge about what life was like for children who worked in the Victorian period.
Content:
This resource contains a total of 29 pages and covers the topics of: what the job of a climbing boy involved; why children were employed to clean chimneys; the working and living conditions of the child chimney sweeps; and the new Acts of Parliament introduced to improve the lives of child sweeps.
In this pack, children will learn how to:
* engage with the past and get excited about history. This pack is rich in detail. Historical facts are presented in a fun and engaging manner, surrounded by colourful illustrations, making the information easy to remember and recall. Children will get to read fascinating imaginary interviews with real characters of the times, newspaper reports, and adverts. This pack includes lots of interesting firsthand source material.
* do research and find information. For some of the topics, children will have to find out the answers for themselves to specific set questions. In order to do this, they’ll need to investigate and retrieve the relevant information in books or on online websites. This will help them learn how to ask their own questions and think about what they want to know.
* explain, or interpret evidence and information. Many of the set questions and creative writing exercises will encourage children to thoughtfully consider the evidence before them. They will be asked to look for clues in texts and pictures, to describe, to explain, to reason, to draw conclusions, to think critically and form their own opinions.
* communicate historical information in an exciting way. This pack includes lots of different sorts of activities: from answering questions and writing letters to the editor of a newspaper, to designing an eye-catching poster. These fun tasks will help children learn how to write their own narratives about each topic; how to to recall, select and organise relevant historical knowledge; how to empathise and imagine how people from the past might feel and act; and how to present their ideas in a manner that is memorable and appeals to the intended reader.
This pack is designed to help support your children as they explore the Victorian era, deepen their understanding of this historical time period, and ignite their interest in history. However, many of the tasks would also make wonderful themed creative writing activities for english lessons and it also contains lots of information that would be ideal for school projects.
This is a digital download and PDF file. Please be aware, there are no answers, but all the missing information is provided in bullet points at the end of the pack.
