Year 3 and 4 pupils at Woodlands Academy recently took part in an exciting, combined lesson that brought together history and investigative skills, turning pupils into ‘detective historians’ for the day.
During the session, pupils explored a range of historical sources and information about the Gunpowder Plot. They carefully examined the evidence, asked thoughtful questions, and made informed judgements based on what they discovered.
The lesson also provided a valuable opportunity for pupils from both year groups to work together. They demonstrated excellent collaboration skills, supporting one another and sharing ideas as they pieced together their historical findings.
A spokesperson for Woodlands Academy said: “This lesson was a fantastic example of how we bring learning to life at Woodlands Academy.
“Pupils showed great curiosity, teamwork and critical thinking, and it was wonderful to see them working so confidently together across year groups.”
