Show it! Group presentation - Homes over time - Year 3

In a captivating exploration of domestic evolution, Year 3 students are encouraged to delve into the fascinating changes that have occurred in our homes over time. As their learning journey reaches its culmination, they are presented with the opportunity to showcase their newfound knowledge to their peers. The presentation can take various forms, ensuring that each child can express their understanding in a way that resonates with them. One effective method is the creation of a PowerPoint by staff members, which encapsulates the ongoing learning and is shared with the entire class, allowing for a visual and interactive learning experience.

Working collaboratively, children are grouped into small teams, with no more than six in each, to foster teamwork and focus. Each group is given the creative freedom to select a topic that reflects a specific aspect of the historical transformation of homes. The range of subjects includes the evolution of Victorian kitchens, the revolutionary impact of microwave ovens, the dramatic advancements in telephone technology, the changing uses of our gardens, and the progression of television sets. This group presentation not only serves as a platform for children to express their learning but also acts as a window into the past, illustrating the dynamic nature of our living spaces and how they continue to adapt to our needs and technological advancements.
