History Detectives Club: Practise Your English While Learning History! (6-8Yrs)

Would you like to go to space? Have you ever heard of Mary Anning, brave fossil hunter? Do you know how Florence Nightingale changed the world? All of these questions, and lots more, will be explored in this new ongoing series of 'History Detectives!' classes. 

The class will give learners the opportunity to further develop their English reading skills. There may also be some writing. This is not a class for beginning readers. This is a class for students who can already read and write relatively independently - this class will build on those skills! (If you're not sure if this class is suitable for your learner - please get in touch! I also run a similar class for 9-11 year olds.)

Lessons are presented on powerpoint slides. The lessons are fun and interactive, with short bursts of activities to keep students engaged.

Each week we look at a different topic (the classes do not build on each other). So learners can enrol at any time.

Week beginning 9th Jan -  Queen Elizabeth II: A life
Week beginning 16th Jan - Mary Anning: fossil hunting extraordinaire!
Week beginning 23rd Jan - Florence Nightingale: the nurse who changed the world
Week beginning 30th Jan - Elizabeth I: a lion and a queen
Week beginning 21st Feb - First Men on the Moon
Week beginning 28th Feb - Yuck! The history of the humble toilet!
Week beginning  6th March - The Great Fire of London
Week beginning 13th March - Christmas time! A history of Victorian Christmas traditions (with games!)
Week beginning 20th March - The Titanic 
Week beginning 27th March -  Queen Elizabeth II: A life

Classroom Policies:

We respect others and have fun learning together.

If you cannot attend the class you signed up to for any reason, please let me know and I am more than happy to transfer your student into any of my other class sections if available.

Please feel free to email me any questions you may have.

My most important policy: there is no such thing as a bad question! Please come into the class with an open mind and we will all learn from each other. I hope to see you in class!
