History

In our History lessons, we want to inspire all of our pupils to love learning about Britain’s past and that of the wider world.

 

History - Our Intent

chain-links

In Carbeile, our intent is to help all of our pupils gain knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. We hope to inspire their curiosity to know more about the past. We want them to be able to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.

Long Term Planning

Take a look at how our children’s learning in science progresses as they move from Year 3 to Year 6 and then into Key Stage 3. All lessons have been carefully considered, planned to cater for the learning needs of all children and with links made wherever possible to previous year/next year learning in History and in other subjects.

Implementation

Implementation:

  • From Year 3 through to 6, pupils are taught about a wide selection of historical periods in chronological order from the Stone Age to present day. They use timelines to develop their understanding of the chronology of these periods and events.
  • Children are equipped to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments and develop perspective and judgement.
  • We encourage children to note connections, contrasts and trends over time and develop the correct use of historical terms.
  • Through the use of a whole school timeline, we ensure children have an outstanding knowledge of the context of the different periods of history being taught.
  • We use our ‘Total Recall’ time at the start of each lesson and Knowledge Quizzes to develop the children’s long-term memory on specific History Knowledge Facts.
