Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas

YEAR 6 – Revolution

Deadline: Friday 28th March

The new projects run for the first half of the Spring term to Friday 21st March. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home. 

Below are a list of ideas for each project, try one of these or something else project related.

• ​​​Find out about health and medicine in Victorian times, including ghastly and deadly diseases like typhoid, smallpox, influenza and cholera. It was pretty grim!
• Find out about significant women of the Victorian era, such as Mary Seacole, Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (the first English woman to qualify as a doctor), Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot (whose real name was Mary Ann Evans) and Mrs Beeton.
• Read some abridged Charles Dickens, such as Oliver Twist and Other Great Dickens Stories by Marcia Williams, or watch film versions of his stories and create your own ‘Junior Guide to the Greatest Novelist of the Victorian Period’. Include with reviews of films and books to appeal to other children and give them a thumbs-up or star rating.
• Make some simple Victorian recipes, such as Apple Charlotte, Banbury cakes and custard patties. Create a recipe book using photos of your creations.
• Find out about Victorian railways using Bradshaw’s Guide (bradshawsguide.org). Read the town descriptions in the original guides and find out how much these places have changed using modern information sources.
• Find out about life as a child worker in factories and coal mines or as chimney sweeps and scullery maids. Write a ‘Day in the Life of a… ’ diary entry and add illustrations.
• Research the Victorian Empire and create annotated maps showing the extent of British rule. How does this link to today’s Commonwealth? Perhaps choose a single area to focus on, such as Britain in India
• Write a fact file about one of the amazing inventions from the Victorian Era
• Create a family tree to show how Queen Victoria became Queen and which of her ancestors came to the throne afterwards
• Research the famous Victorian artist, William Morris. Can you recreate on of his pieces or design one of your own in the same style.
• Research the famous inventor, Thomas Edison.  Can you explain why his inventions affect our lives today?
