Movers and Shakers
Autumn Term 1 and 2
What will we be learning about?
- What is a 'mover and shaker'?
- How does Dawson's model help us to decide whether someone is of significance or not?
- Isambard Kingdom Brunel as a person of local, historical significance.
- Different types of significant people (monarchs, activists, scientists, explorers)
- How can we learn from both historical and modern-day 'movers and shakers'?
Our writing focus
In English, we will be writing biographies about Isambard Kingdom Brunel and going to explore the SS Great Britain. We will also be designing our activism posters and writing our own speeches about our own chosen causes.
Some of our class texts include:
Our adventure to the SS Great Britain!
