Year 6 - History

The Industrial Revolution

Year 6 have been studying the Industrial Revolution, as a period of significant change in British History. 

We  focused on the key question, "How did the Industrial Revolution Change Everyday Life?" and learned how cottage industries in rural areas were no longer needed, as factories were built and towns grew larger, once machinery had been invented.

The Great Exhibition of  1851 showed off British science, technology and design.
