Show it! Group presentation - Indus Valley - Year 4

In a Year 4 class exploring the ancient civilisation of the Indus Valley, students are encouraged to delve into the lives of the people who thrived in this region. The curriculum prompts an interactive and engaging approach to learning, culminating in a group presentation where children can showcase their newfound knowledge to their peers. To facilitate this, educators may compile a PowerPoint presentation based on the ongoing learning journey, offering a visual and structured way to share information with the entire class.

The presentation activity is designed to be collaborative, with children working in small groups of up to six. This encourages teamwork and allows for a deeper exploration of specific topics related to the Indus Valley. Each group can select from a range of intriguing subjects, including a comparison of the Indus Valley to Ancient Britain, the study of archaeologists, the family life of the Indus Valley people, and the examination of ancient scripts such as Hieroglyphics and Cuneiform. Other captivating options include the mysterious Egyptian Gods and the Valley of the Kings. Through these presentations, students will not only learn about the rich history and culture of the Indus Valley but also develop their public speaking and presentation skills.
