History
Curriculum Intent Statement:
The aim of history teaching at Lugwardine Primary Academy is to stimulate the children’s interest and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past. We teach children a sense of chronology, and through this they develop a sense of identity and a cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. Therefore, they learn to value their own and other people’s cultures in modern multicultural Britain and, by considering how people lived in the past, they are better able to make their own life choices today. We teach children to understand how events in the past have influenced our lives today; we also teach them to investigate these past events and, by so doing, to develop the skills of enquiry, analysis, interpretation and problem solving. The development of children’s historical knowledge and understanding and skills is closely linked to their development of their ability to use language.
Our curriculum intent includes planned opportunities to:
· To foster in children an interest in the past and to develop an understanding that enables them to enjoy all that History has to offer;
· To enable children to know about significant events in British history, and to appreciate how things have changed over time;
· To develop a sense of chronology;
· To understand how Britain is part of a wider European culture, and to study some aspects of European history;
· To have some knowledge and understanding of historical development in the wider world;
· To develop in children the skills of enquiry, investigation, analysis, evaluation and presentation and local area.
