Bruegel - Week 1

This intricately detailed picture is an excellent introduction to pictures from history. It provides an excellent stimulus for discussion about the similarities and differences in children's activities in the past. The busy detail invites the children to keep looking, noticing new things every time they look! The activities in this Year 1 English Lesson are clearly linked to objectives for composition, comprehension, grammar and punctuation using the book as the stimulus to learning. The engaging ideas provide super starting points for KS1 learning and are driven by probing questions.
