History
History at Stockton Wood is dynamic, stimulating and most of all fun to learn. History is a tool to aid the children to see where they and their society came from. Children will understand that in the past people made many mistakes, and it is our duty as Historians to learn from the past. Children will understand that History is incomplete and much of it is up for debate. The children in Stockton Wood are skilled Historians, using first hand and secondary sources to make comparisons and assess the impact of historical events and civilisations.
Used correctly the children can use their History skills to craft a better world through what they have learned.
Early years
They will understand they and their family are part of a larger community. They will begin to have an awareness of changes over time and significant people who help us in our community. Children will read a number of books that will build a foundation for their knowledge of History.
Key Stage 1
Children will understand their place in history, how events of the past has and is affecting them now. They will study people of interest from before living memory and will explore what ways they influenced how we live now. They will begin to understand that what we do now affects what will come.
Key stage 2
They will compare cultures from different eras and note how things changed and why. They will explore cause and effect. They will recognize that history is not always told accurately and there are many accounts. They will recognize the difference between primary and secondary sources and be able to look for reliable sources of information.
We celebrate historical moments in time. Showing the children History is being made in their lifetime it is not just a thing of the past.
