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.

  

Here we are working as archaeologists. We found some interesting artefacts and had to record where we found them.

 

 

We sorted artefacts using our historical knowledge.

In History we look at artefacts from the past and discuss how we think they were used and what they are.

 

 

Blue Area children study 'Ancient Egypt'.

 

 

During some history topics we have a themed history day, such as 'Egypt Day'. Click here to find out more.
