Hello, my name is Mrs Tipping and I'm really looking forward to learning with you today all about significant individuals who changed Britain.

And we're going to explore the question, how did they fight for change? So, shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson you will be able to describe Emily Davison's funeral procession.

Before we start, I'd like to introduce you to some keywords.

We'll be using these keywords during the lesson, so it might be a good idea to write these down.

The keywords we'll be using today are funeral, pay respect, procession.

I'm going to say those again and I would like you to repeat them after me.

Funeral.

Pay respect.

Procession.

Good job.

Now let's think in more detail about what these keywords mean by taking a look at their definitions.

A funeral is an event where people come together to remember a person who has died.

To pay respect to someone means to remember a person who has died.

And a procession is a group of people moving forward together.

Pause the video here to make a note of these keywords, and when you're ready to continue, press play.

These are the learning cycles that we're working through together in today's lesson.

What happened at the racecourse? How has Emily Davison been remembered? In the first learning cycle, we'll explore what happened at the racecourse.

On the 4th of June 1913, a tragedy happened at Epsom Racecourse involving Emily Davison.

Do you know what happened here? Take a look at the illustration there, can you remember what happened? Well, Emily was knocked over by King George V's horse.

And a few days later, she sadly died from her injuries.

And lots of people wanted to know why she did it and still do.

I wonder, why do you think she ran onto the racetrack? It's certainly an interesting question.

Let's pause to check our understanding here.

Who ran onto the racetrack at the Epsom Derby on the 4th of June 1913? Queen Victoria, King George V, Emily Davison? Pause the video here, and give yourself a moment to think, and press play when you're ready to hear the answer.

If you said Emily Davison, you're absolutely right, well done.

Now people in Britain had been asking for women to be allowed to vote for the leader of Britain, including a group called the Suffragettes.

Emily Davison was part of the Suffragettes.

Suffragette banners were always handmade and only used the colours purple, green, and white.

Emily had one of these in her hand when she was hit by the horse on the racetrack at Epsom.

Some people think this means that she wanted to attach the banner to the King's horse so that it would cross the finish line waving a Votes for Women banner.

You can have a look there, that photo of a Votes for Women banner.

You see it uses two of those colours, green and white.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Select the colour which was not included on Suffragette banners.

Green, purple, red.

Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your partner.

Select the colour which was not included on Suffragette banners, and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that it was red, you're absolutely right, well done.

Other people think that Emily might have been prepared to die so that the Suffragettes could get more public attention.

The more public attention they got, the more likely it was that the government could not ignore them.

In this way, the Suffragettes hoped that women would eventually be given the right to vote.

But nobody can know for sure why Emily ran onto the racecourse, but they do know that she was very brave.

She has been remembered this way in history.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Looking at this statement, is it true or false? Historians know exactly why Emily Davison ran onto the racecourse.

Is that true or false? Hm, what do you think? If you said that was false, you're absolutely right.

Now let's take a look at these two statements here.

Which of these would help to justify your answer? Historians can only make guesses about why Emily did it.

Historians can ask Emily why she did it.

So pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

Which of these two statements would help to justify your answer? And press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that historians can only make guesses about why Emily did it, you're absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to explain to your learning partner why Emily Davison might have run onto the racecourse in 1913.

You could include these words and phrases, Suffragette, King's horse, banner, vote.

So pause the video here and give yourself time to explain to your learning partner why Emily Davison might have run onto the racecourse in 1913 and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So, your answer could include Emily Davison might have run onto the racecourse in 1913 because she wanted to attach a Votes for Women banner to the King's horse.

She was Suffragette who wanted women to be able to vote.

Well done for completing that learning task.

This brings us to the second part of our lesson.

How has Emily Davison been remembered? A few days after Emily died from her injuries in June 1913, the Suffragettes organised a big funeral for Emily Davison in London.

A funeral is an event where people come together to remember a person who has died.

You can see that photo there of Emily Davison's funeral.

Can you see how many people are there? And you can see that there's a banner that the women are holding.

Now Emily was from Morpeth in Northumberland.

Usually there would have only been a funeral with her family in Morpeth.

However, because so many people wanted to remember Emily, the Suffragettes used their newspaper to invite lots of people to come to a funeral in London to pay respect to her.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Who is correct about Emily Davison's funeral? So Lucas says the Suffragettes organised the funeral for Emily Davison.

Alex says King George V organised the funeral for Emily Davison.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

Who is correct about Emily Davison's funeral? And press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you agreed with Lucas, you're absolutely right, Lucas is correct.

The Suffragettes organised the funeral for Emily Davison.

On the day of the funeral 5,000 Suffragettes walked through the streets of London with Emily Davison's coffin in a procession.

A procession is a group of people moving forward together.

While 50,000 people lined the streets of London to watch the procession and to pay respect to Emily Davison.

After the funeral procession in London, Emily's body was taken back to Morpeth for another private funeral with just her family members.

Let's take a moment to pause and check here our understanding.

Can you match the number to the correct label? So we have 5,000 and we have 50,000, and the labels number of people along the streets of the funeral procession, number of Suffragettes in the funeral procession.

So pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think and match the number to the correct label, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look? So 5,000 is the number of Suffragettes in the funeral procession, and 50,000 is the number of people along the streets of the funeral procession.

Well done if you matched those correctly.

In 2018, a statue of Emily Davison on hunger strike was put up in Morpeth.

The statue is a way to remember and pay respect to Emily Davison and everything she did.

Have a look there at the statue of Emily Davison, that photo of it.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding here.

The funeral process and the statue were both ways to, what to Emily Davison? Visit, talk about, pay respect.

Pause the video here to have a quick discussion with your partner and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said the funeral procession and the statue were both ways to pay respect to Emily Davison, then you're correct, well done.

That brings us to our final learning task.

I'd like you to add labels to the photo below to describe Emily Davison's funeral procession.

So pause the video here, give yourself enough time to have a go at adding labels to the photo below to describe Emily Davison's funeral procession and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So, you could've added it was in London in 1913, people wanted to pay respect to Emily, there was procession with 5,000 Suffragettes, and 50,000 people lined the streets of London.

Well done if you were able to add labels to the photo to describe Emily Davison's funeral procession, and well done for completing that learning task.

Before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learnt about Emily Davison's funeral.

Some historians think Emily was trying to put a Suffragette banner on the King's horse in 1913.

Others think that she was prepared to die so that women could get the vote.

Historians aren't completely sure why she did it, but Emily was recognised at the time for being very brave.

The Suffragettes organised a large funeral procession for Emily.

5,000 Suffragettes walked in the streets of London with her coffin and 50,000 people came out to watch and to pay respect.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today, I hope to see you for the next one.

See you next time.
