History

The primary history curriculum aims to help children develop a sense of curiosity and wonder about the past. It helps them understand how the past has shaped the present and how people and events have changed over time. 

Here are some of the specific aims of the history curriculum at Waverton: 

• To develop children's chronological understanding, so they can understand the order of events. 

• To help children understand historical concepts, such as change, cause and effect, and significance. 

• To encourage children to ask questions about the past, seek answers and make connections. 

• To help children to develop their research skills, so they can find out information about the past. 

• To help children to understand different perspectives on historical events.
