Crew Spetch – Job roles in the mine
This morning in our history lesson, we investigated the different job roles in the mine and discussed what life would have been like for miners.
We used our new knowledge of the different job roles to create freeze frames. The children loved this and I was really impressed with the creativity of their freeze frames! What a great discussion based lesson, it was great to hear all of your wonderful ideas!
