At Panshanger Primary School we follow the National Curriculum Programmes of study for History
In Key Stage 1 children should:
- develop an awareness of the past, using common words and phrases relating to the passing of time
- know where the people and events they study fit within a chronological framework and identify similarities and differences between ways of life in different periods
- ask and answer questions, choosing and using parts of stories and other sources to show that they know and understand key features of events
- understand some of the ways in which we find out about the past and identify different ways in which it is represented
In Key Stage 2 children should:
- continue to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history
- note connections, contrasts and trends over time and develop the appropriate use of historical terms
- answer and devise questions about change, cause, similarity and difference, and significance
- understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed from a range of sources
