HISTORY

History at Forestdale

At Forestdale we want children to be inspired to understand about Britain’s past and that of the wider world.  Children will be encouraged to ask perceptive questions, assess evidence and give their own thoughts about historical events and figures.  They will also be asked to think about how history has affected their lives today.

Children in each year group will all be taught history through the following themes:

• Autumn – Inventions and Innovation
• Spring – Empires, Leaders and Monarchs
• Spring – Weaponry and Warfare
• Summer – What it was like to live
