Humanities

Our children thoroughly immerse themselves in their History and Geography topics. We have a fun curriculum which is supported through many workshops and some of our school trips.

We currently have a two-week timetable. The children will complete Geography one week, and History the next. This has really supported their retrieval of the subjects. 

On a Friday the children complete ‘Flashback Friday’, which also covers History and Geography topics covered.

Each class shares their wonderful practical lessons and workshops on Seesaw.

Vocabulary Progression

Below is the vocabulary that the children will be learning in History and Geography lessons. Also included are the knowledge organisers for each year group so that you can see what is being taught.

“I really enjoy the workshops”

Workshops/Activities

Recently the children have thoroughly enjoyed two visits from the TRUNK theatre, who have performed shows on The Great Fire of London (Y1-4) and Roman workshops (Y1-5).

All children have took part in Water Efficiency workshops (Y1-6) where they have learned about the importance of water and how we can save it.
