This week, pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 have been busy writing non-chronological reports about Richard Trevithick. The children explored key facts about his life and why he is an important figure in history, particularly for his role in developing early steam locomotives.
Using their disciplinary literacy skills, the pupils worked hard to write like historians. They organised their work using headings, included important facts, and used subject-specific vocabulary to explain who Richard Trevithick was and why his inventions were significant. It was wonderful to see the children applying their historical knowledge in their writing while presenting information clearly for their readers.
We were very impressed with the children’s enthusiasm and the thoughtful way they approached their work. Well done, Year 1 and Year 2 historians!
