Local History Study:
In our topic lessons, we are going to conduct a local history study. We are going to a conduct a study over time tracing how several aspects of national history are reflected in the locality, with a particular focus on key parts of Malvern.
Key historical events:
We will also look at three key historical events:
- Guy Fawkes
- Remembrance
- Black History Month, with a focus on a key historical figure.
Edward Elgar:
As part of our local history topic, we have started to explore the life of the composer, Edward Elgar. The children have composed a series of questions that they would like to investigate about Elgar including:
- Where did he live?
- When did he start composing music?
- What was his favourite composition?
- Did he play any instruments?
- Did he have other interests, aside from music?
- What was his family life like?
We are going to complete a study to using primary and secondary sources to see if we can identify the answers to these questions.
The children have also been exposed to a range of Edward Elgar's compositions, including the Enigma Variations and The Dream of Geronitus.
