Project Overview
Use our pre-planned Year 2 history project, Street Detectives, to teach children about their local area. This project develops children’s knowledge of key landmarks, services and the community, how these have changed over the years and what they, as the young generation, can do for their local area.
It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
*This project is part of the Cornerstones History Curriculum and not sold separately.
