Our journey into the past does not end there. The children will be finding out about achievements and legacies. They will develop an appreciation and understanding of the past and recognise that historical events can have meaning and relevance for their lives today. Democracy, Stone Age paintings, social classes and the origin of the Olympics, are some of the amazing things we have planned. Through becoming historians, the children will achieve a greater sense of chronology and time periods.
