History

Overview

History and geography are taught via class topics.  Both skills and knowledge are acquired through a variety of activities, sometimes including out-of-school visits and research using the internet. Humanities topics are introduced with Key Questions for pupils to explore.  Subject specific Tier 3 vocabulary along with transferrable Tier 2 vocabulary is taught explicitly to support pupils’ understanding.  Pupils regularly review previous learning using a variety of daily, weekly, monthly review techniques and knowledge organisers.
