Class 4J - Extracting information from Historical Sources

Once again this week, Class 4J has been using primary sources to find out about the past. The children were given three different original historical extracts ( letter, government order and a print) about The Great Plague. Lots of discussion about each source took place and the children were provided transcripts of each document to help them decipher some of the older print and language. They then had to use each document to answer a number of questions about The Plague.
