Autumn 2
Tuesday 2nd November 2021 - Friday 17th December 2021
Topic: Industrial Revolution
A History Focus
Industrial Revolution
This is a history topic studied through texts, visits and artefacts with a specific focus on the impact of the Industrial Revolution on Ashton-under-Lyne. The industrial revolution (1760 - 1840) began in Georgian times and continued into the Victorian era. The great age of steam, canals and factories, changed the face of the British economy forever.
Children will be learning about the industrial revolution on Ashton-under-Lyne and the UK, including the impact it had on work, school, housing and law.
English
You can find all of the weekly spellings on the spelling app (on this website). Children will be learning about sentence types (simple, compound, complex), expanded noun phrases, speech marks and expanding their vocabulary. We will be reading a range of texts including fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
