Intent
At Yohden Primary School we aim to deliver history lessons that inspire children to want to know more about the past and to think and act as historians. WE aim for our children to enjoy and love learning by gaining knowledge, skills and understanding in history through a range of experiences.
By linking learning to a range of topics including local history eg mining in the local community, children have the opportunity to investigate and interpret the past, understand chronology, build an overview of Britain’s past as well as that of the wider world, and to be able to communicate historically.
We want children to be motivated and curious learners that can reflect on the past and find similarities and differences as well as making links to the present day.
