History
Intent
The aim of our history curriculum is to:
- Develop historical enquiry skills so that children can ask questions, evaluate information and think critically.
- Develop an understanding of different historical periods and events and the lives of people who lived in the past, making comparisons between these.
- Develop a sense of chronology and appreciation of children’s historical heritage.
- Learn to evaluate sources and connect information from different sources to build a bigger picture, appreciating that interpretations may differ.
- Develop children’s understanding of process of change over time and how history has influenced our lives today.
How does our History curriculum link with our school values?
We develop respect and tolerance for others by learning about different places, times and cultures.
We challenge ourselves to know and remember more about the past and how it has shaped our present.
We learn about the past in order to learn more about ourselves: we develop compassion in this way.
We think critically about what we can learn from history and what happened in the past.
