Please send projects to school in the LAST week of term. 1. Historically significant people can be divided into five different groups. These include activists, artists, explorers, monarchs and scientists. Write a definition/ draw a picture to explain what each group does. 2. Becoming a significant person is not easy. Neil Armstrong, for example, had to work hard to become an astronaut before he had the opportunity to travel to the Moon. Ask an adult to help you to research and create a timeline of Neil Armstrong’s education and training, beginning after he left school and ending with the Moon landing or choose your own significant person. 3. Choose five famous people and find out about their impact on the world. Can you rank them from who you think is the most to the least significant? 4. Write a short biography about a historically significant person who lived in the past. It can be someone that you have learned about in class, or it could be someone who lived in your local area. Write about the person’s life and why we remember them today. Use information books and the internet to help you to find information and pictures to include. Share your biography with someone in your family. 5. Hunt around your house and in your local area for memorials that celebrate the lives and achievements of significant people. Examples could include coins, stamps, statues and road names. Take photographs of any that you find and share them with the class.
