Reply To: Year 6 History Inquiry – Cold War

[Lucy Breag Participant]

(27 March) End of the Cold War inquiry today.  Factsheets produced and pupils’ consideration of why their event was significant in the Cold War, and in World History.  Although there were a few facts they had not grasped entirely correctly, the overall understanding on display was pleasing; almost all work produced, and presented to the class, covered the basic requirements they were asked for – and more in many cases; and they were able to assess the work of others, consider their own strengths throughout the inquiry process and identify a few goals for when they do it all again next term!  Didn’t manage to include as much as I would have liked to include, but a good learning process for me and a thorough introduction to the FOSIL cycle for them.
