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 Nursery 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.
In the Early Years, the children will learn about:
| Lives of people around them and their roles in society. |
| The similarities and differences between things in the past and now. |
| The past through settings, characters and events encountered in books read. |
Over their time in primary school the 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
*Faith
*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 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.
