St. Mary's Catholic Primary School
Living and Learning Together - Shining in our Faith
History
At St Mary’s History is delivered to all children from EYFS to Year 6. The children study History each term and we follow an enquiry-based programme which builds on the skills taught over a 2-year cycle (classes 1 & 2) and a 3-year cycle (class 3).
Over their time in primary school the EYFS, KS1 and KS2 children will study significant people and significant events in History, areas of Local history, ancient civilisations, invasions on Britain and a contrasting non-European society.
Through their history lessons they will also have opportunities to develop their understanding of our 4 Key concepts which are:
*Monarchy & Leadership
*Faith
*Migration / Invasion
*Exploration
Our aim is that all children will develop a good knowledge and understanding of significant events, people, and changes in the past. They will use a variety of different resources and artefacts to find out about the past. They will develop a good understanding of chronology and therefore be able to understand the different interpretations of History.
