KS1 Magellan pupils work (1.3 MB)

The Year 2 story of Magellan and his voyage round the world. The lessons provided part of the history and geography element in a wider topic on ‘Water’.

The teaching was done through the powerful medium of storytelling. The first session was taken up by the storytelling, with the children's interest maintained by role play and discussion/speaking and listening.

The second session was used for an assessment activity.
