History

At Sauncey Wood we have a progressive and sequential curriculum that helps children understand their own place in history as well as where key periods of history come on a chronological timeline. We use trips and workshops to bring these topics to life, such as visiting the Natural History Museum in Tring and Verulamium in St Albans. We focus on the new vocabulary for each topic, using Widgit symbols to support understanding and consider why certain events happened and what we can learn from this. We aim to develop children’s critical thinking skills in History and use debate and questioning to help them understand historical events from a range of different angles
