History
Learning history helps pupils develop curiosity in, and an understanding of, the past. Pupils learn about the recent past, the more distant past of other people, both famous and ordinary, and how they themselves, their family and their community has changed.
In particular, history offers pupils opportunities to:
· recognise and understand the sequences, routines and chronological patterns that make up their world.
· develop an understanding of their personal history alongside understanding about events in the world and what shapes them.
· develop their own sense of identity, and a reasoned set of attitudes, values and beliefs.
· develop knowledge and understanding of how people lived in other times and how those times were different from today.
· experience a range of representations of the past.
· use a range of evidence to find out about the past.
Children aged 5 to 7 years will have opportunities to consider how they and their parents have changed over the years. They will also have opportunities to play with toys from long ago and compare them with their own toys.
Children aged 7 to 11 years will have opportunities to visit castles and other places of interest like Normanby Hall and Gainsborough Old Hall where they can experience representations of what like was like in the past. They will experience forms of transport from bygone ages such as steam trains and canal boats. They will have opportunities to experience how are our foods, games and leisure activities are different from those in the past.
