Rationale
At Old Town Infant School, we want to create inquisitive learners who want to know more about how the world has changed. To support children’s chronological understanding, we have carefully created units that offer children an opportunity to learn about an event, time or person from a very long time ago, a mid-point and then explore how this has impacted their lives today. We want children to be transported to the past to understand how change has effected the way we live our lives now. In Year 1 and 2 children will have the chance to explore three different periods of time to help their chronological understanding. Throughout the KS1 curriculum we will be able to add to their time line of significant events. There are also significant historical figures chosen to support each unit of learning that reflect a diverse, rich and inspirational history. Our curriculum aims for pupils to leave school with an understanding of the following 6 ideas, which we believe underpin the subject of history.
