Whole School Celebrations
Each year at school we celebrate key events. Recent celebrations include Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and the Coronation of King Charles.
Black History
Each year we learn about some black history heroes and the contributions they made to society, art and culture. We look at influential individuals who had experienced discrimination in their lives and how they overcame this adversity. We make direct comparisons between historic figures from the past to modern day and try to find similarities.
Local History
Each year group looks at a different aspect of local history. Reception look at our school, Year 1 learn about Idle and the Jowetts, Year 2 learn about Titus Salt and Saltaire, Year 3 learn about the growth of the wool trade in Bradford, Year 4 learn about the impact of WW2 on Bradford, Year 5 learn about mining in Yorkshire and Year 6 learn about the Battle of Stamford Bridge. As the children at Blakehill move through school they build a picture of their local area and look at key changes to understand why it is like it is today. We focus on the theme of technologies within this and link it to our learning about British History and the wider world.
