Practice Makes Perfect: I know the key vocabulary from our history topic.
You have been fantastic at remembering lots of facts from our history topic where we’ve compared the Stone Age and Iron Age in Britain with what was going on in Ancient Egypt at around the same time. Our topic vocabulary is in the grid below. This week, I’d like you to re-cap on the vocabulary and teach somebody at home the meaning for each word. If you are still unsure of some words then discuss these at home, find out using a dictionary, internet or books.
| hunter-gatherer | advances | civilisation |
| empire | hieroglyphics | pharaoh |
| archaeologist | Rosetta Stone | Neolithic |
In our homework review, we will do a quiz to see if you’ve remembered all the words. There may even be a prize!!
Tips to help remember:
Draw it
Draw a picture to represent the meaning of the word.
Sentences
Say or write the words in your own sentences. You could discuss where the word works and where it doesn’t.
For example:
An empire is ruled by an emperor – correct.
I have an empire in my garden at home – incorrect.
Synonyms
Give words that mean the same as the topic vocabulary.
For example:
For advances, you could give ‘moved forward ’, ‘ made progresses, ‘made discoveries’ or ‘developed’.
