History
In Early Years and Key Stage One, children learn about their own history and that of their family. They explore the lives of important individuals from the past. They begin to build a sense of chronology.
In Key Stage Two, children learn about key eras of the past - as outlined by the National Curriculum - on a chronological journey from Year 3 to Year 6. They study the Stone Age, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Early Islamic Civilisation and the Victorians.
Throughout their study of the past, children develop their historical skills taking a spiral approach to six core concepts:
- causes and consequences
- change and continuity
- chronology
- enquiry
- ideas, beliefs and attitudes
- representation and interpretation
