Stage 4 History (Year 7 and 8)

Assalamu Alaykum parents, caregivers and students.

Students in Stage 4 (Year 7 and 8) have been studying the Ancient and Middle Ages. I would like to congratulate everyone on the conclusion of an exciting semester studying history, next term Insha-Allah we will be starting Geography. 

Year 7 has completed the study of ancient Egypt and ancient China learning about the links to Islam and understanding the concept of the afterlife through the ages. We looked further at the concept of burial practises in both civilisations and compared this to the Islamic concept of burial. Students gained a deep understanding of the cycle civilisation.

Year 8 focused on the Middle Ages and we looked at the Japanese Shogunate and the Ottoman empire. We learned about the significance of leadership and the cause and effect of major events during history. Students also expanded their skills with historical writing and learning how to formulate an essay.

Well-done to stage 4 history, I’m looking forward to our new semester.
