History

Through History we teach the children to compare past and present and develop a sense of chronology. They study some key periods in history and learn about significant people, (e.g. Samuel Pepys, The Tudors, World War 2 and Ancient Egypt). The children are encouraged to develop their research skills through investigation, questions and analysis. In Year 6 pupils study the Victorians using an enquiry based method of learning. This is where they learn independently with unlimited access to technology. The topic ends with a spectacular ‘Great Exhibition’ as a new way of sharing their historical learning with family and friends.
