A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit History, Year 4, How have children’s lives changed?
This resource is designed to support pupils as they examine how childhood has evolved from the Tudor period to the present day. It introduces key vocabulary such as apprentice, poverty, working conditions, and historically significant, alongside concepts like continuity and change. Through historical examples including Tudor and Victorian apprenticeships, the role of Lord Shaftesbury in reform, and developments in health and education, pupils investigate how laws, living standards, and expectations of childhood have shifted over time. The unit encourages enquiry using both primary and secondary sources and builds understanding of how societal changes impact young people's lives.
