Curriculum - History
History and Geography will often be used as a vehicle for linked topic units. For instance, a local study of Swanmore will incorporate aspects of both history and geography schemes of work.
In Key Stage 1 History the children are developing an awareness of the past through stories, drama and recent family history. In Key Stage 2 the children will have opportunities to study British History from Roman to Modern Times and Ancient Civilizations from other parts of the world. They will be encouraged to explore the idea of change and to develop their historical skills, e.g. use of artifacts, empathy with people and cultures from the past, extracting information from primary and secondary sources, etc.
