In this engaging lesson, children are introduced to the Bronze Age. In particular, they learn how:
-the world changed from the stone age to the bronze age;
-people made and used bronze;
-the bronze age came to different civilisations at different times;
-the discovery of bronze, alongside other discoveries, changed daily life.

The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge recall - gauging what children know/ can remember about the Stone Age, in order to secure a foundation for their learning;
-Discovering how bronze was made, and how it was first used at different times by different civilisations;
-Reading and comprehending information about daily life in the Bronze Age;
-Creating a report about what they have learnt, using the clear and logical report template;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.

Included is the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (22 slides), the reading comprehension extract and the report template (provided in both Word and PDF)

In the past, I have used this lesson with children in lower KS2 (years 3 and 4) - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
