History KS2 - Lesson 1: Local history template
Lesson one is an adaptable local history study template. It contains researched links to objects which might by suitable for study if your school is in London boroughs affected by the Tideway project. Children explore a building, object, or organisation that has had a significant impact on the local area and community. They investigate their study choice and consider what impact it had on local people and life in the borough.
