History Curriculum<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our vision for History at Whitchurch<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At Whitchurch we believe that History fires pupils\u2019 curiosity about the past in Britain and the wider world. We aim to bring history to life and to instill a desire to find out about our predecessors.  We view History as a great deal more than learning facts. We see it as an opportunity to develop skills of enquiry and questioning; to become open minded \u201chistorical detectives\u201d and explore the past in an engaging way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Termly and half termly topics give scope for cross curricular work. Through History, children learn to make comparisons and links between the past and modern times and discover how and why things have changed. They learn about people and events in the past, in Britain and the wider world, and realise that these have influenced our lives today. Children are taught how to investigate and record their findings in interesting and creative ways including writing, art, drama and computing.<\/span><\/p>\n
