Unit for Key Stage 1

Unit for Key Stage 1: Significant historical events, people and places in their own locality (the school and its community) 

Children can be introduced to the idea that schools have been in the locality for some time but they have not always been the same. They can look at similarities and differences as well as be introduced to some of the events that affected the schools. The theme allows children to carry out some of their own investigations by using a range of different sources. Above all it allows the children to see some continuity between their lives and the past.
