Local History – Year 1
In Year 1, children embark on an exciting journey into local history by exploring the life and legacy of Hull-born aviator Amy Johnson, one of the city’s most famous and inspiring figures. The pupils learn about her early life growing up in Hull, gaining insight into what life was like in the early 20th century and how Amy’s determination and passion for aviation set her on a path to achieve incredible feats.
The study of Amy Johnson’s legacy goes beyond just her flying accomplishments. It also looks at how Hull continues to honour her memory, from statues and street names to exhibitions and events celebrating her life. This exploration helps children recognise how local history is not only about the past but is also part of the present, shaping the community’s identity. Through learning about Amy Johnson, Year 1 pupils not only develop an appreciation for history but also draw valuable lessons about resilience, ambition, and the importance of following one’s passions.
