Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify effective questions to use as part of an historical enquiry about buildings in the local area and a template to select record information about some of the old and new buildings that can be found in the local area.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore some of the different buildings that can be found in the school’s neighbourhood and record their locations and functions.

This lesson is part of a history scheme of work to get the children to research and present the history of a range of different buildings and people that are part of the local community using a school exhibition. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
