‘History gives answers only to those who know how to ask questions.’ – Hajo Holborn, German-American historian (1902-1969)
We are curious and passionate historians who learn about the people, the events and the times that have influenced the world in which we live today. We ask questions about the past, look critically at different types of evidence and use the knowledge we’ve gained to form our own perspectives and views. To find out about the history we learn in each year group, click on our long term plan below.
Year 1
We have been learning about how people used to communicate in the past. We can order the photos from earliest to latest. #y1history
We have been learning about transport from the past. We can say which mode of transport happened first. #y1history
We looked in our school kitchen and Mrs Ridsdale showed us how technology helps her to cook. We thought about how long it must have taken to cook in the past. #y1history
We have been exploring old cooking utensils from the past. We have been thinking about how cooking has become easier over time and drawn pictures of the artefacts #y1history
We have explored how music was played in the past. We have watched a gramophone play, listened to cassette tapes, CDs and records. We talked about how we listen to music nowadays. We listened to some music by The Beatles and we know they were famous in the past #y1history
