History is the study of change over time. We examine past events to see how they have influenced the present.
What do children learn about?
•Key events and people from British history, including significant monarchs, explorers, and leaders
•The development of Britain from ancient times to the modern day
•Ancient civilisations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans
•World history topics such as World War II
•Historical enquiry skills – asking questions, using evidence, and comparing sources
•Chronology – understanding timelines and how events are connected
•The impact of historical events on life today
•How is History taught?
History is taught through stories, artefacts, drama, role-play, visits, visitors, timelines, and visual sources such as paintings, documents, and photographs. Children investigate the past using a range of sources, develop their own interpretations, and take part in engaging activities that bring history to life.
