Lesson video

Hi there, everyone.

It's really nice to see you.

How are you doing today? Great.

My name is Miss Emms and welcome to a history lesson with me.

In today's lesson, we are going to be answering the following key question.

we are going to be learning about something called apartheid.

And our key question is what was apartheid? This is lesson one of three in the unit when we think about why we celebrate Mandela day, and you are learning with me Miss Emms. In today's lesson, we're going to start off with our star words.

So words that are really important for today's lesson.

Then we're going to think about where apartheid happened, followed by when apartheid happened.

And then we're going to think about what was apartheid.

And we're going to have a look at some examples of things that happened under the apartheid laws.

Finally, it will be time for your end of lesson quiz.

And that will happen after we have done the rest of our learning.

In this lesson, you're going to need three things.

You are going to need some paper, you're going to need a pencil and you're going to need your brain.

Your brain is going to have to work really hard in this lesson, your brains already there you don't need to go and get it.

You do need to go and get your paper and your pencil.

So pause the video now and go and get the things that you need so that you're ready.

Pause now.

Great, well done every one.

So let's have a look at our Star words is the important words that we need to understand so that we can do today's lesson, my turn your turn.

Star words, star words, star words.

Right.

Our first star word is apartheid? Your turn.

We are going to learn in this lesson what apartheid means.

So we're not going to cover that just yet.

South Africa Your turn.

Right.

South Africa is where we are going to be talking about today.

Okay.

Laws.

Right.

You may have heard of the word laws before.

Every country has lots of laws.

They're basically rules that people have to follow.

Equal.

Amazing.

If people are equal then they are treated in the same way.

And today we're going to learn about how a very important person called Nelson Mandela wanted black South Africans and white South Africans to be equal to be treated fairly and equally, my turn your turn equal Right, well done.

So where did this happen? The apartheid laws were made in South Africa, in a country called South Africa.

So here you can see the country South Africa.

Can you point on your screen to the country South Africa, get your pointy finger and point to the country.

Well done.

If you're learning from the United Kingdom, then you can see the United Kingdom up here.

That's where I am teaching from today I am teaching from London in the United Kingdom.

Okay, let's move on.

So, South Africa and When did it happen? Let's have a look at this timeline to help us think about when the apartheid laws were made.

You can see that today we are in the year 2020.

So here we are at the end of the timeline 2000 this here, and this is when Miss Emms me, This is when I was born.

So in the context of this timeline not very long ago.

My grandmother, my granny was born around here.

Okay, so closer to the beginning of the timeline, which starts at 1900.

And this is the important data 1948.

This is when the apartheid laws were made.

1948.

In? Great, well done.

So apartheid was a collection of laws that separated black people and white people.

I'm going to say that again, my turn your turn apartheid.

Apartheid was a collection of laws that separated black people and white people in South Africa.

And these laws happened in 1948 in South Africa.

Okay? I would like you to tell your screen now, in which country did apartheid happen? Apartheid happens in, tell your screen.

Good, apartheid happens in South Africa.

And when with the apartheid laws made? Option one 1938 option two 1948 option three 1950.

With your pointing pointy finger Now, can you point to the correct answer? Which, which year were the In which year with the apartheid laws made? Point to what you think was it 1930 1948 or 1950.

If you're pointing to 1948 option two, then you are correct.

The apartheid laws were made in 1948.

In South Africa.

The apartheid laws were made in the year? 1948 in the country, South Africa.

Well done.

So what was apartheid? Apartheid, as we looked at earlier, as we heard earlier, was a collection of laws that separated black people and white people.

And the laws stated that black people and white people were not equal.

The laws stated that black people and white people did not.

So black Sorry, I'm miss I'm just going to say that again.

The law stated that black people did not have the same rights and opportunities as white people.

Okay.

Let's think carefully about the definition of rights and opportunities.

A right is a moral or legal entitlement to have or to do something on moral or legal entitlement to have or to do something and an opportunity.

It's time of set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something.

So these laws stated that black people did not have the same rights and opportunities as white people.

Let's have a look at some examples of what the laws stated.

The law stated that black people were not allowed to live and work in the same areas as white people.

So before apartheid before 1948 when the laws were made, black people and white people lived in the same areas, but after apartheid or when the apartheid laws came into effect, this meant that black people were forced to leave their homes and live in specific areas called townships.

What are the specific areas called? Townships.

Okay, so they were forced to leave their homes.

Voting.

Black people were not allowed to vote for the people in power.

Okay.

So now in in this country, We are all when you are above the age of 18 allowed to vote for the people who are going to be in power for the people in the government.

But the apartheid laws meant that black people in South Africa were not allowed to vote for the people in power.

So just to recap, black people were not allowed to live in work in the same areas as white people.

And they were not allowed to vote for the people in power, living work and voting.

Also, black people are not allowed to attend the same schools as white people.

And one of the problems that that came from this is that the scores for black people were generally not as good as the schools for whites people.

Okay.

So we've got three areas there.

Living and Working.

Black people were not allowed to live in work in the same areas as white people and have to leave their homes to live in townships.

Voting.

So black people were not allowed to vote for the people in power.

And schools, black people were not allowed to attend the same schools as white people.

And as we said, this was a problem because black, the schools for black people were not as good generally as the schools for white people.

Okay.

So, I would like you to use the images to help the images below and they're going to help you complete the sentences.

So the first thing we covered black people were not allowed too.

And the second thing we covered black people were not allowed to use the picture to help you.

And the third thing we covered black people were not allowed to use that image to help you.

I want you to find get your pencil now and your piece of paper.

And I would like you to try and continue those sentences using those images.

Pause the video now to complete your task.

Right, well done.

So to recap, the first one, black people were not allowed to live in work in the same places as white people.

Black people were not allowed to vote for the people in power.

And as well as the problem of black people not being announced to attend the same schools as white people, which in itself, we will learn that Nelson Mandela and lots of other people, but it was really unfair.

As he did with all of these problems. And another problem to add to that, is that these schools for black people were genuinely not as good as the schools for white people.

Pause the video now if you need to tick and fix your answers.

Great, well done.

Okay, everyone, really great learning today you have concentrated really, really well.

You've tried really hard, and I'm feeling really proud of you.

And I hope that you're looking forward to our next lesson with me Miss Emms, and it's going to be time at the end of this video to complete your End of lesson quiz.

Well done on all of your really hard work today.

And I will see you next time.

Bye, everyone.
