History – Curriculum Information
Throughout Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 in Humanities, pupils will be involved in investigating a variety of people, places and environments both locally, within the United Kingdom and also in a Global context.
History lessons at Wheeler will inspire children and spark an interest and empathy for events in the past, reasons for them and how they have shaped the thoughts and views of the world today.
Pupils will acquire coherent knowledge and understanding of the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups in the past. They will use this knowledge to analyse how the past has, and is, shaping the world and their lives today. Each topic will focus around a ‘Big Question’ which will direct the learning, aiding the children’s understanding.
Pupils will be taught to ask questions, think critically, weigh up the evidence given and develop their own perspective and judgement.
Visits and ‘hands on’ experiences will be promoted and will be used to ignite interest, provide deeper learning opportunities for the children, enabling them to apply the knowledge they have gained.
