Lockdown Digital Time Capsule

Capture Your Pupils' COVID-19 Lockdown Story. Throughout the centuries, diary entries, photographs, documents and recordings help us to understand other historical periods and how people lived their day to day lives, especially during times of crisis. With your help, we'd like to create a digital time capsule on the People’s Collection Wales website. This will enable current and future generations to understand your pupils' story during these challenging times.   Foundation Phase Digital competence framework, Personal and social development, well-being and cultural diversity, Knowledge and understanding of the world, Creative development Key Stage 2, 3 & 4 Digital competence framework, Literacy skills, Education for sustainable development and global citizenship Curriculum for Wales 2022 Expressive Arts, Health and Well-being, Languages, Literacy and Communication   Learning Activity Pack This resource provides learning activities for your students using our website.

Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) History... Cover Image Login to save this item A vector image of a star to represent action to save this item
Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) History...

Wales is a multicultural nation, with migration into Wales strongly linked to our industrial past. Up to the present day, people have come to Wales to work, to study, to seek asylum and to live. We all contribute to the culture and history of Wales. In this Collection we aim to bring together the stories of ethnic minority people and communities in Wales. This resource is based on content currently published on People's Collection Wales. There is currently more content about African and Caribbean people and communities than other ethnic minority groups, and this is reflected in this resource. We are working to engage with organisations, communities and individuals to create a broader and more diverse representation of the people of Wales. This resource will grow as more content becomes available. Can you help? If you have content that will help tell the stories of ethnic minority individuals and communities in Wales (past and present) please add it to the People's Collection Wales. For help with uploading your content, see our How To Guides. If you know of published content that would enrich this resource, please leave a comment below or Contact us to help us to continue to expand this resource.   Foundation Phase Personal and social development, well-being and cultural diversity, Knowledge and understanding of the world (Most content here is suitable for Foundation Phase but teachers should review content before sharing it with learners.

Oral History: A Guide for Schools Cover Image Login to save this item A vector image of a star to represent action to save this item
Oral History: A Guide for Schools

History is all around us. We only have to ask our own families and communities. They can tell us enough stories to fill a library of books. This kind of history is called ORAL HISTORY. Documents and books often concentrate on famous people and big events. But many people’s experiences and voices have been hidden from history. Oral history fills in the gaps and gives us history which includes everyone. With digital technology, anyone can preserve oral histories and share them with others. It is a wonderful way of developing digital and interviewing skills while learning about history.  It can build the confidence of young people and respect between generations. This guide has been created in partnership by the Oral History Society and People’s Collection Wales. It offers helpful advice on getting started with an oral history project in your school or community.   Key Stage 2, 3 & 4 History, Literacy Skills, Digital Competence Framework   Learning Activity Pack This resource provides learning activities for your students using our website.
