At Firthmoor Primary School, History is taught following the objectives from the National Curriculum framework and all topics are planned within a two-year cycle so that each term our children become historians when they being a new and exciting topic! Our History lessons can be taught in a block or weekly lessons . Pupils develop a range of skills through purposeful enquiry questions each lesson when they have opportunities to compare different historical periods with each other and with their lives today. They are encouraged to learn using a range of sources such as books, the Internet and by looking at artefacts from the past.
We enrich our History curriculum by 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. We also encourage pupils to read fiction texts for pleasure linked with their current topics to enhance their learning.
Please see below our History curriculum.
