Kingsdown & RingwouldHistory
Led by Mrs Baker
A high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
History
'I love our history lessons, it was so fascinating to learn facts about Vikings, Ancient Egyptians and Crime and Punishment. I loved when we mummified tomatoes using salt. I went home and did some research because I wanted to find out more.' - Lucas Year 5
'I love that there is always more learn about and you can find out more about what interests you at home.' - Dan S Year 6
'I love reading Percy Jackson books so when I found out we were learning about Ancient Greece at school, I was really excited. I love learning about Greek Myths especially Apollo and the Python.' - Carsen Y5
'Ancient Egyptians was my favourite topic. It's great that even after thousands of years people still want to find out more about their civilisation.' - Freya Year 5
'I loved our trip the library and then Deal pier. We saw a pirate and he said that a boat crashed into the pier, so they had to build a new one.’ – Jholie Year 1
'We went to Deal pier. There have been three piers made from wood, metal and now concrete.’ - Jenson Year 1
‘I remember our Walmer Castle trip. We had to spot the different parts of the castle and label them on our picture. It was really fun.’ - Isabella Year 3
'I did lots of research at home about WW1. It is really interesting. I also liked learning about the Georgians' punishment.' – Loki Year 4
‘History is important because we need to learn about the past, so we don’t do the same bad things again. Some of the things we have learnt about are brutal, especially in Crime and Punishment.’ – William Year 4
‘I remember learning about Mary Anning. She found a strange looking dinosaur skull and then found the rest of the skeleton. It was really cool.’ – Seb Year 4
