This History local history drawing sheet year 1 core encourages students to become junior historians. Through creative expression, children are prompted to identify features of their town or village, compare old and new structures, and consider how people lived in the past. It is an excellent tool for teachers to use during local area walks or as a follow-up activity after looking at historical photographs of the school or town centre.
Our History local history drawing sheet year 1 core is carefully differentiated for learners working at the expected standard. It includes five to seven carefully crafted questions that guide children through the process of historical observation. These questions range from simple recall, such as identifying a building’s purpose, to more complex application, such as imagining what their street looked like one hundred years ago.
The resource features our original character, Ellie the elephant, who loves history and stories. Ellie guides the children through each task, making the lesson warm, encouraging, and accessible. Teachers can easily integrate this into their history planning to bring local studies to life. This resource is free to download and ready to print, providing a hassle-free way to meet curriculum objectives while sparking curiosity about the world around us.
