Meanwhile she … Aletta Jacobs

by YorkClio, posted in Resources

Aletta Jacobs was one of the first women in the Netherlands to become a doctor and opened one of the first birth control clinics for poor and working-class women in 1882. Thanks to Caitlin Sutherland, who completed her UoY PGCE in June and is about to start teaching in Uxbridge, for putting this ‘meanwhile she’ together. It will be useful for colleagues to add diversity to the part of the medicine / health through time course where Robert Koch is busy identifying bacteria. Meanwhile she Aletta Jacobs

Y6 to Y7 transition history – tour of Leeds

by YorkClio, posted in Resources

This resource has been put together to help with Year 6 into 7 transition. PGCE history trainees from the University of York, Katie Rawnsley and Mharni Shearer, have been thinking about the pastoral issues of transition and also what they would like new Y7s to know about history in secondary school. This is a particularly unusual year for Y6 into 7 transition and so they have made these resources so that they can be used on location or online.

Self-guided walking tour of Leeds – live or online

The first part of the resource is a Walking Tour of Leeds for KS2-3 Transition. This can be done as a family day out. The sites visited using the guide all link into topics studied in the secondary curriculum. If it’s not possible for a child to get into Leeds, then they can use the website walking tour to learn about local places linked to wider historical events. While it’s been designed for Y6 into 7 transition, it could be enjoyed by all ages of students as summer learning. And if you’re not lucky enough to live in Yorkshire, this work could form a template for similar work in other historic environments.
