History

Welcome to History at Cherry Fold Primary School.

We aim to ensure that the curriculum evolves and builds on  prior knowledge and that it is bespoke to our pupils. We strive to ignite the pupils' curiosity, excitement and their ability to ask questions about the past.  Our ambition is to equip the pupils with a deepening knowledge of Britain's past and and that of the wider world whilst fostering a respect for its people.  This is in line with our key values: Enjoy, Respect and Succeed.  Through providing opportunities to ask perceptive questions, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement we are enabling pupils to become life long historians.

 

Long Term History Plan 2023-2024

History Club

Join Cherry Fold's History Club. We will be learning about The Stone Age, The Romans, The Ancient Egyptians and many more interesting facts about history. The children will learn through drama, art, food tasting and discussions. They will become archaeologists and dig up clues from the past. The children will handle artefacts and create their own replicas. They will develop their skills as a historian, through asking questions, making claims and using a variety of sources.

Great Fire of London Outdoor Learning Workshop

Ribchester Roman Museum

Year 3 learnt about the difference between an artefact, object and replica. They handled artefacts and tried on replicas of soldiers armour. The children loved exploring the museum and visiting Roman ruins. It was a brilliant way to begin their learning on The Romans.

Queen Street Mill Visit Year 3

Viking Visitor Year 4

King Charles III  Coronation Celebration

As keen historians, we understood the huge significance of witnessing King Charles III's coronation. This gave us an opportunity to delve into the past with each year group having a focus linked to their learning. Each class was gifted a class book linked to the coronation celebrations.
