Taught in collaboration with children’s author, E.L Norry, this webinar explores what it means to be historically literate and how to use historical fiction to develop a cross-curricular unit of work. Inspired by E.L Norry’s Son of the Circus: A Victorian Story and the associated historical era, this course will offer teaching approaches to support improved attainment in literacy and to teach history effectively.
The webinar will look at how literature can support children’s learning and consider what progression in history might look like across the primary years and the approaches that will support children’s understanding of historical concepts. In addition to the training, attendees will receive detailed planning for the core text related to this session.
