History at Sandhill Primary
At Sandhill Primary School, we aim to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for History; providing a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum, ensuring the progressive development of historical concepts, knowledge and skills. We believe that high quality history lessons will inspire children to have a curiosity about Britain’s past and that of the wider world, acting as historians. Through a range of topics, children are able to embed skills to investigate and interpret the past. They will be able to understand the chronology of past events, which underpins the children’s developing sense of period.
Our teaching equips children with the knowledge of: ancient civilisations, the expansions and dissolution of empires, understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference, and significance, and how to use them to make connections and contrasts. Children will understand the changes in living memory and beyond living memory; learn about the lives of significant people in the past; understand the methods of historical enquiry and be able to ask and answer questions. By answering these questions, children take part in challenging activities including opportunities to undertake high quality research across a range of topics, helping them to understand the process of change and diversity of societies and relationships between different groups. We want children to enjoy learning about history gaining valuable knowledge and skills and develop a sense of curiosity to know more about the past.
