Our children develop their chronological awareness of the past in order that they can order the periods in history that they study.
During their time with us pupils visit historical buildings and museums. They handle artefacts, read documents and study photographs from the different time periods they study.
Children are encouraged to ask perceptive questions and think critical about events and periods of history. They respond to historical periods in writing, pictures and songs as well as reenacting key events.
At St Barnabas, we want our children to gain a coherent understanding that History is the study of the past, specifically, the people, societies, events and problems of the past. Furthermore, we want our children to understand Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
