Lesson video

Hi everyone, nice to see you.

How are you today? Great, welcome to another history lesson with me, Miss Emms, let's get started.

In today's lesson, this is our key question, who was Nelson Mandela and he wants to achieve? And this is lesson two of three, with me Miss Emms. It's important that you've had a go at watching the video for lesson number one, where we learned about apartheid.

And it's really important that you have that information in your head before you have a go at completing this lesson.

If you have had a look at that lesson, then you're in the right place, let's get started.

So first things first, we're going to have a look at our star words.

So our key words that are going to be really important for our understanding in this lesson.

After that we'll have a bit of a recap and these questions will make you think hard about the learning that you've done in lesson one.

Then we going to answer the question, who was Nelson Mandela? Before moving on to thinking about what he wanted to achieve.

So who was he, a little bit about his life and what did he want to achieve? What did he want to accomplish or do? And finally, there will be an end of lesson quiz again, to help you think about your learning to see what you've been able to remember from the lesson.

So you'll need three things in this lesson, you will need some paper, you'll need the pencil and you will need your brain.

Make sure your brain's working nice and hard.

Give your brain a little rub for me, well done.

If you need to go and get your paper or your pencil then now's the time to do it.

So pause the video and go and get those two things.

Ready? Pause now.

Great, well done.

Now you all set and you're ready to start your learning.

Lets have a look at our star words.

My turn, your turn, star words, star words, star words.

Great, our star word is apartheid, your turn.

Now you should know already what's apartheid means from the first lesson, from lesson one.

I'm not going to tell you because we're going to recap that at the beginning of today's lesson.

South Africa, your turn.

Great, and we learned that that is where the apartheid laws were made in the country, South Africa, and our lost starboard is Nelson Mandela, your turn.

Nelson Mandela is who we're going to be learning about today and the units of learning is all about why we celebrate Mandela Day.

So Nelson Mandela is a really important person that we're going to be learning about in this lesson.

I would like you to quickly pause the video as a recap and you're going to tell your screen in which country did apartheid happen? You going to say apartheid happens in, tell your screen, go.

Great, apartheid happened in South Africa, apartheid happened in South Africa.

Just to reminder, here's our map as we saw in lesson one and you can see South Africa here, there is South Africa.

And a reminder of our timeline, so you know that in 1948, that is when the apartheid laws were made.

So here's today, here's roughly when I was born, here is roughly when my granny was born, and here's when the apartheid laws were made in 1948, in the year 1948.

I want you to put your finger on the correct option.

When would the apartheid laws made? 1938, 1948 or 1950? Have your finger on option one, two or three now.

Great, hopefully you had your finger on 1948.

So we are not sure we know that the apartheid laws happened in South Africa in 1948.

I want you as a quick recap before we start the learning for this lesson, thinking back to last lesson, is important that we recap these three points.

So using the images I want you to complete the sentences.

Black people were not allowed to.

Black people were not allowed to.

And black people were not allowed to.

Use these three images to help you to explain the three things that we learned about that black people were not allowed to do under the apartheid laws.

Pause the video and you can just say it to your screen now, off you go.

Great, well done.

So to correct, black people were not allowed to live and work in the same places as white people, were not allowed to vote for the people in power and we're not allowed to attend the same schools as white people.

And you may remember that we said in last lesson, that another problem that arose from that is that the schools that black people attended were not generally as good as those for white people.

Let's move on today's learning, who was Nelson Mandela? Let's say his name together so we practising his name, Nelson Mandela, your turn.

Great, whenever we come across a new person or a new place, it's really important that we practise that vocabulary, Nelson Mandela.

Now Nelson Mandela was a really important person.

And he is really important to the learning in this unit.

Here is a picture of Nelson Mandela.

So Nelson Mandela was born on the 18th of July, 1918, and he was born in Mvezo in South Africa.

Here is a little picture that shows you where Mvezo is in South Africa.

So where the little red Mark is that is where Nelson Mandela was born.

So Nelson Mandela was thought to be one of the most important and influential leaders of our time.

Influential means when you have a really big influence on someone or something, and you're able to affect development of someone's character or behaviour.

So you are able to inspire change and have lots of influence.

And that means that he did some really important things.

So he's thought to be one of the most important and influential leaders of our time.

Nelson Mandela wanted all South Africans to be treated equally and fairly.

And in lesson one, we looked at the star word equal.

He wanted everyone in South Africa to be treated equally and fairly.

And as you know already the apartheid laws meant that black people and white people in South Africa were not treated equally.

He wanted everyone to be equal, whether they were black or white.

He didn't want the colour of your skin to affect whether you were treated equally and fairly.

Nelson Mandela thought it was unfair and not right for people to be treated differently based on the colour of their skin.

And he thought that it was not fair that black South Africans were treated so differently from white South Africans under the apartheid laws.

So already had a thing, we've already learned about what some of those laws meant.

We learned that those laws meant that black people in South Africa were not allowed to live, work in the same place as white people, vote or attend the same schools.

And these are just some examples, and Nelson Mandela believed that this was not fair.

He wanted everyone to be equal.

Now I would like you to pause the video in a second and you're going to complete the following answer question.

What did Nelson Mandela believe? And you're going to use the speech bubble to help you.

So Nelson Mandela believed all people should be treated "mm".

He did not agree with that "mm" laws.

Can you find the two missing words in those sentences Pause the video now and tell your screen.

Great, Nelson Mandela believed all people should be treated equally.

He all fairly you could have had as well.

He did not agree with the apartheid laws.

So you should have had equally and apartheid.

Lots of people supported Nelson Mandela, and they knew that the apartheid laws were wrong.

Lots of people.

But the people in charge, the government did not want to change the laws.

From one hand, you've got lots of people who support Nelson Mandela, and they knew that these laws, these apartheid laws were wrong.

But the government, the people in shot who made the laws did not want to change them.

So the government wanted black and white people in South Africa to be separated.

The government wanted black and white people in South Africa to be separated as the apartheid laws enforced.

But Nelson Mandela wanted equality.

That means he wanted black and white people to be equal.

So you can see here, that what the government wanted was different to what Nelson Mandela wanted.

I would like you to pause the video now, and you're going to say true or false.

The government wanted all people to be treated equally, true or false? Show me this for truth and this for false.

The government wanted all people to be treated equally is not true, it's false.

The government wanted black and white people to be separated.

Nelson Mandela wanted black and white people to be treated equally, so this statement is false.

Well done if you've got it, and if you didn't, don't worry.

We know that making mistakes helps our brains to grow and helps us to become better learners.

The government was worried about how much support Nelson Mandela was gaining.

He was gaining lots of support, that means lots of people agreed with him and supported his views.

The government sent Nelson Mandela to prison because they were worried about how much support he was getting.

So they sent him away to jail or to prison.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison, that's a long time, 27 years in prison.

Why did the governments and Nelson Mandela to prison? Option one, he committed a crime, option two, they were worried about the amount of support Mandela was getting.

Can you point to the option that you think is correct, off you go.

Did you get option two? Right, they were worried about the amount of support Mandela was getting, it wasn't because he had committed a crime.

And how long did Nelson Mandela spend in prison? He spent.

You're going to write down your sentence.

Nelson Mandela spent "mm" years in prison.

Write it down, pause now.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison.

Take off it's your answer 27 years.

Okay everyone, and next, it's going to be time for your end of lesson quiz.

Today we've learned about who Nelson Mandela was and why he was so important, what he wanted to achieve.

In the next lesson, in lesson three, we are going to learn about the impact that Nelson Mandela has had and the changes that have come about because of Nelson Mandela.

I am really impressed with how hard you have worked today.

You have tried so hard and you should feel really proud.

Can you give me a high 10? Let me go off this screen, so in big screens, we can have a high 10.

And that means you get your hands ready like this, and you're going to go like that as if we are giving each other a high 10.

Three, two, one, well don everyone, great learning today, you've tried so hard.

And I will see you next time, bye.
