Know it! - Blackpool - Year 5

As part of a Year 5 curriculum, students are encouraged to delve into the history of Blackpool, exploring its growth and development into one of the UK's most beloved seaside resorts. The educational unit aims to provide children with a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contributed to the town's popularity, enabling them to appreciate the cultural and historical significance of Blackpool within the context of British leisure and tourism.

To reinforce their learning, the unit incorporates a series of retrieval tasks designed to aid memory retention and deepen comprehension. These tasks are not limited to the duration of the unit but are structured to allow children to revisit the content even after the unit has concluded. This approach ensures that knowledge is consolidated over time, offering multiple opportunities for students to engage with the material and recall information, thereby solidifying their understanding of how Blackpool became a favourite destination for holidaymakers in the UK.
