Expectations

At the end of this unit

most children will: know that Remembrance Day has its origins in events in the past which really happened; appreciate that Remembrance Day touches directly on some people's lives today through their personal experience of war in the past and/or now; sequence the main events covered in the unit; recognise that there are different types of evidence for these events; ask appropriate questions and gather information from different sources of evidence; communicate their findings through speaking, writing and drawing

some children will not have made so much progress and will: sequence some of the events in the unit; gather information from a limited range of evidence for these events; talk about their findings

some children will have progressed further and will: recognise that different types of evidence for the events in the unit tell us different things; use dates and technical vocabulary accurately when sequencing events; communicate their findings through written narrative
