Progression pedagogy - History of Bury - Year 3

The educational programme for Year 3 students exploring the history of Bury employs a structured approach to learning and retention known as 'link it, learn it, check it, show it, and know it'. This method is designed to ensure that pupils not only acquire historical knowledge about the origins of Bury but also understand and remember the information long-term. The progression pedagogy begins before the learning takes place, setting the stage for students to connect new knowledge with what they already know.

During the learning phase, the programme provides a variety of activities and resources that enable students to actively engage with the content, facilitating deeper understanding. As the unit progresses, regular checks are conducted to assess comprehension and retention, helping to identify areas where students might need further reinforcement. By the end of the learning, students are encouraged to demonstrate their knowledge through various outputs, ensuring that the key facts and concepts about Bury's history are firmly embedded in their memory. This systematic approach, detailed in the 'Five stages of learning and remembering' document provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, is aimed at maximising the opportunities for pupils to know more and remember more about the historical context of Bury.
