At Key Stage 2, pupils must study the achievements of some of the earliest civilisations, such as Ancient Sumer; The Indus Valley; Ancient Egypt and The Shang Dynasty of Ancient China. A popular choice in this area of study is Ancient Egypt although any early civilisation could be studied. It is a good idea to encourage comparison with the Changes in Britain from Stone Age to Iron Age unit. Whichever ancient civilisation is studied, it should be accompanied by an overview of when and how the earliest civilisations came about.
