The latest ictopus newsletter mentioned a website which enabled pupils to read newspaper style articles about the Tudoes, WWII, Victorians and Romans. So I headed to http://www.headlinehistory.co.uk/ to take a look. Its even better than that – pupils can read about selected events of these eras but then are encouraged to act in the role of journalist and write about the events themselves, to ‘interview’ characters – there are video clips and also transcripts of previous live hot seat interviews. This is a really excellent resource for KS2 and really worth having a look at!
