Our Summer 1 Journey
This term our big question is, 'I wonder why Saltaire was built?' and our unit will have a History focus. We will be finding out about a significant historical event, person and place in our locality. Our enquiries will include why Titus Salt chose the site to build a mill, what was made in the mill, what were working conditions like, how Saltaire in the past compares to Saltaire as we know it today, what the people living in Saltaire did and what the special places in Saltaire are. Children will make connections to prior learning about Florence Nightingale and will be introduced to the impact of the Industrial Revolution.
