At Firthmoor Primary School, History is taught following objectives from the National Curriculum framework and is covered each term by looking at a new and exciting topic!  History can be taught in a block or weekly lessons.  Children are encouraged to learn through research, using books, the Internet and looking at artefacts from the past.

A fun way of learning about History is through inviting visitors into school and going on visits to places of historical interest.

The children have access to a plentiful selection of History books from across the eras, which are all displayed in the corridor for them to browse at their leisure.
