Local History
Local history helps children make sense of their immediate world. However, it is not just a case of bombarding them with local facts. Good local history involves enquiries that allow children to investigate drawing on their previous historical knowledge and understanding. It allows them to use interesting local sources including pictorial, artefacts and written and to link with national and even international history.
