Renaissance Report
Report on the Renaissance from the show 'Horrible Histories' from the BBC. Teaching Ideas/ Suggested Activities: I will find out about the previous knowledge that the children already have about the Renaissance and will then let them watch the video once we have done this short discussion. Curriculum Linkage: English (Literacy), History and Art. |
Leonardo Da Vinci
A video detailing some of the quirkier sides of the Renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci, from the BBC show 'Horrible Histories'. Teaching Ideas/ Suggested Activities: I will first ask the children what they already know about Da Vinci, and will then let them watch the videos. Curriculum Linkage: English (Literacy), History and Art. |

Da Vinci's Inventions
I will have the children look at some of the inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Teaching Ideas/ Suggested Activities: I will show the children the images and tell them that they were found in Da Vinci's journals and see if they can tell what it is meant to be. I will tell that it is supposed to be a helicopter. The image on the right is what it would have looked like if it had actually been made. The children will then create their own blueprint for an invention of their own. They will write a short description about it (Materials, Function, etc.).
Curriculum Linkage: History, Art, English.
