History
In EYFS, the children find out about past and present, people, culture and communities as part of their 'Understanding of the World'.
In Key Stage 1, we teach history using a thematic approach linked to the overarching theme of the topic.
In Key Stage 2, we teach history in chronological order beginning with the Stone Age and finishing with WW2. Also in each year group, we compare and contrast the chronology of British history with that of other civilisations around at the same time. An example of this would be the Anglo Saxons and the Golden Age of Baghdad. We do this so that children are able to compare and contrast the living conditions and the significant contributions to the world of Britain in comparison to other civilisations in a different part of the world.
In Key Stage 2, we teach History in a 3-week block. We do this so that the children are immersed in the history unit of work and are given the space and opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of significant historical time periods.
