History

In Reception and Key Stage 1 we aim to give the children an introduction to life in times past. Within our topic work we experience living history, by means of artefacts, photographs and visits from local residents to answer questions on topics such as school days and life in Britain during the Second World War. Key Stage 2 builds on this foundation, looking at specific periods and cultures in history. Archaeological and historical evidence is used to support this work, both in the classroom and on visits to museums and sites, with children making their own deductions about how people used to live.
