History

History is taught across 3 half terms, with geography taught on alternate half terms. Children use history books and floorbooks to record their history work and responses. Links are made with English, or other subjects where appropriate. The school uses the Plan Bee Scheme as a starting point for planning history lessons.

To view the knowledge and skills progression for different areas of history, please see the documents below:

See our curriculum for each year group attached below. Teachers use a variety of resources to enable them to plan lessons effectively, including online resources, books, real artwork and visitors. 

 

Knowledge organisers are also used to support children in remembering important knowledge and skills necessary for each topic. These can be found in relevant year groups below too.
