This week Year 1 became history detectives!
Our big question was: “Who is George Stephenson and what does he do?”
To find out, the children examined old photographs and paintings as clues. They looked carefully at details like clothing, objects and settings to make predictions about the person in the pictures. We asked questions such as:
What can you see?
What might this tell us about his job?
Why is he important?
Through our investigation, the children discovered that George Stephenson was an engineer who built one of the first steam locomotives and helped design railways. His work changed how people travelled and connected towns across Britain.
