To mark the start of the new academic year, Taylor Wimpey has launched a national curriculum-based history project for Key Stage 2 called ‘Changing Lives, Changing Communities’.
The project, which has been developed alongside education experts and practising teachers, is free and comes with full support material including comprehensive work books. It encourages pupils to look at how homes and communities have changed in the past 100 years and includes a local history study, a comparison of Victorian homes and lifestyles with modern day and an insight into the period’s inventions.
To kick start the campaign, Taylor Wimpey commissioned a junior think tank of over 1,000 seven to 11 year olds to give their predictions on what life will be like 100 years in the future - with some interesting results!
