Historical Friday
Over the course of this term SIJS will be taking a step back in time each and every Friday afternoon when not a teacher will be in sight, replaced instead by characters from throughout history!
The first ‘Historical Fun Friday’ was a great success as the children learnt about a wealth of different historical figures, from Pocahontas to Leonardo Da Vinci, via trekking across the extremes of Antarctica to name but three. Each historical fun Friday pupils will be learning in mixed year groups and will each experience lessons with ten different historical figures helping to understand how the events of the past have shaped our world today.
**Update- Lots more pics from our third Historical Friday are now online.
I loved Historical Friday with Mr Hogg. I learned loads!!
I liked learning with Mrs Watts – I especially enjoyed the quiz. I can’t wait until the next Historical Fun Friday.
I think it was a really good idea and I learned loads about Florence Nightingale.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait till tomorrow!!!!!
Historical Friday was really fun. I was with Mrs Lucas and she was Anne Boleyn. We learnt a song- the words were divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. It told us that the 6 wives that King Henry VIII had and told us what happened to them!!!!
i loved doing historical friday
I can’t wait till i learn about all of the other historical people. This was a great idea.
Did you know that Charlie Chaplin avoided his mum because she was mentally ill? Also Charlie Chaplin died at the age of 88. Pocahontas died at the age of 22!!!! There are loads more facts on Frog that you can find out.
i love historical Friday. I can guess who most of the teachers are!!
I can’t wait for Friday. I was with Pocahontas last week- it was so much fun!
What a great idea Historical Friday is…Our son comes home full of information about what topic that has been talked about, this is very encouraging as our son loves History, what a great idea and more importantly, he’s even more eager to go to school!!!!! Well done to all concerned.
Last week I was with Mr Luke. I can’t give much away this time but I will give you a hint- he is not the same as Mr Allcock.
Historical Friday is really good! You learn loads about historical people and so far I’ve been with Florance Nightingale, Cleopatra and Julius Caesar: I love it!!
Historical fun Fridays are fun because they make learning interesting about History.
Mr.Allcock did you get cold legs on historical Friday in your costume? My mum thinks you were very brave wearing that costume in January! It was worth it because it inspired me to research about the Romans and I really enjoyed the learning.
I am Mr Tudor’s Auntie, here in Wales and I wish my little boy could come to St Ives Junior School, it looks great fun and I’m sure all the children enjoy their lessons. What a fun and fab way to learn about History!
It is great. I wonder who I will be going with this week- I can’t wait to find out! Everyone so far has been great.
I thought that Ms Teagle who is Cleopatra was really good because all of us that were there were her servants, including Mrs Ahanan. It was so cool!!!
WOW Kacey cool facts!!
I think that Historical Fun Friday is just amazing- I’ve learnt a lot.
Last week was amazing! I just can’t wait to find out who I am with next week.
I love Cleopatra because we all had to bow down to her and say “oh! lovely one. Oh! you are the most intelligent one. You are the most beautiful one in the room” and we all had pretend we were her servants.
