Show it! Group presentation - Blackpool - Year 5

In a vibrant and interactive learning segment aimed at Year 5 students, the question of how Blackpool evolved into one of the UK's most beloved seaside destinations is explored. At the culmination of their studies, the children are encouraged to showcase their newfound knowledge to their classmates. This presentation can take various forms, ensuring a dynamic and engaging experience for both the presenters and the audience. Staff members may facilitate this process by creating a PowerPoint presentation that encapsulates the ongoing learning journey and sharing it with the class for a visual and informative recap.

To foster collaboration and deeper engagement, children are prompted to form small groups, with no more than six members per group, to prepare their presentations. Each group has the opportunity to delve into a specific topic related to Blackpool's rich history and attractions. They might choose to present on the thrills of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the natural beauty and science behind coastlines, the strategic location of Blackpool, the iconic Blackpool Tower, or the traditional Wakes holidays that contributed to the town's popularity. Through this "SHOW IT!" initiative, students not only consolidate their learning but also develop their public speaking and presentation skills, beginning their talks with a friendly "Good Morning" before diving into the fascinating story of Blackpool's growth as a quintessential British seaside resort.
