History encourages pupils' curiosity about the past. Historical knowledge, skills and understanding is taught through:
- A chronological understanding of placing events, people and changes in the correct period of time.
- Recognising that the past is represented and interpreted in different ways and why that is.
- Developing the role of historical enquiry using a range of sources of information e.g. artefacts, documents etc.
In History pupils find evidence, assess it and reach conclusions; a skill not just necessary for history, but for life.

During our Roman topic we worked together in small groups to research a topic and create an ICT presentation. |

During some history topics we have themed days or trips to amazing places. In Red Area the children had the opportunity to visit the Georgian House in Bristol to see what life was like in Georgian times.
Don't the boys look smart! |
The girls dressed up in traditional housekeeper's clothes and learnt how to run a Georgian house including grinding spices, doing the washing and beating the carpets!

Year 3 and Year 4 enjoy learning about Ancient Egypt. They wrote their name using hieroglyphics. |
