Children take over teaching

Posted: 1st December 2020

Keen young historians shared their love of the subject with their peers.

Two Year 6 pupils at Cooks Spinney Primary Academy enjoy the subject so much, they were invited to teach a lesson to their classmates.

Dawson and Holly planned and delivered a whole lesson about the spies during WW2.

Jess Farrell, Year 6 teacher, said: “Their knowledge was fascinating and the children were engaged throughout. They were able to answer any questions the rest of the class asked.

“Dawson and Holly even planned an activity involving secret messages and lemon juice!

“The children loved being taught by Dawson and Holly and have already asked if others could deliver lessons in the future.

“It is so nice to see children passionate about learning and wanting to share their knowledge.”
