Opportunities are provided for children to learn from a range of sources of evidence. Books, maps, documents, pictures, photographs, artefacts, paintings, oral sources and music are used to enable children to investigate the past. ICT links are explored and children regularly use a range of ICT resources in history lessons.
Educational visits and visitors are organised where appropriate to enhance children's learning and opportunities to commemorate anniversaries of key historical events are encouraged through whole school events.
In November, pupils from across the school took part in the annual remembrance day. Classes were able to commemorate the centenary since the end of World War 1, with year 6 taking their learning outside and Foundation Stage creating some fantastic art that displayed in the playground.
Year 6 were lucky enough to spend a lovely sunny, yet blustery day down at Dover Castle on 23rd November. They learnt about the tunnels and how they were used during the war, as well as visiting the castle. It was great for them to see their history learning come to life and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
