Cross Curricular
A Cross-curricular approach is very popular in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 classrooms and can be extremely successful. However the teacher must be careful to ensure that the activities are planned to develop and encourage an understanding of historical concepts and historical skills - not just using a historical context for the learning. Teachers must ensure progression in all areas of the curriculum so tenuous links should be avoided.
