‘No one left out, no one left behind.’
1 Thessalonians
- To foster a sense of wonder and curiosity about our country’s diverse past and our place in the world.
- To pose questions, explore possibilities and use a range of historical sources to answer them.
- To develop the disciplinary skills of a historian including an understanding of chronology.
- To use local history to make links to national and global events and to follow themes of religion, trade and government across topics.
Compassionate
By asking ‘What was it like to live in the past’, children develop an understanding of the complexity of people’s lives. This enables them to reflect on their own identity and the challenges of their time.
Encouraging
Children are encouraged to ask questions and consider bold solutions to make the world a better place.
Respectful
Children use their imaginations, along with historical artefacts and sources to consider and respect what life was like in the past – how, why and when people did certain things.
