Enrichment in History

History is brought to life at Westacre using a variety of immersive and well planned activities. 

In year 5, students have become archaeologists and "dug up" artefacts to start topics, and will have  visits from key figures from the Viking period and local history to bring their topics to life.

In year 6, students examine how a diverse range of civilisations survived, and indeed thrived, across time- from Neanderthals to Ancient Egyptians, Shang Dynasty of Ancient China to nomadic tribes which should excite and engage our students to imagine life in different times. 

In year 7, treasure hunts and the placing of key events and resources are used to engage the children with their Conflict topic. 

Year 5 Brine Baths Project 20-21

We are delighted to have been asked by the Save Our Brine Baths (SOBBS) campaign to work alongside them in promoting awareness of Droitwich's rich heritage and their campaign for the return of the brine baths to the town.

Please see the Year 5 Photo Gallery page for weekly updates, and visit the Brine Memories website for our findings and experience of the collection of memories.
