History
The children have started their learning about the Islamic Civilisation. We started by looking when the Islamic Civilisation occurred and which other historic periods it ran concurrent with, which gave the children an opportunity to make connections with prior history learning and give their new learning context. The children then found out about the Dark Ages in Britain and discovered why in Islam the same period was called the Golden Age. Following this, the children found out how the Islamic civilisation started and how and why it spread so quickly.
