Humanities

At Mrs Ethelston's, we aim to develop the children’s geographical and historical understanding through engaging and meaningful topics. We strive to develop the children’s engagement with geographical and historical knowledge with an understanding of how the past impacts upon the present. The children’s historical and geographical enquiry skills are developed through evaluation of evidence, logical thinking and working systematically to ask and answer questions.

In History, our children in Key Stage 1 are taught to consider changes within living memory, events beyond living memory and the lives of significant individuals in the past. In Key Stage 2, children develop their sense and understanding of chronology through local, British and world history.

In Geography, Key Stage 1 children are taught about their local environments, to be able to name and locate the four countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom and to be able to name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans. The children in Key Stage 2 are taught about places in the United Kingdom, wider world and how places relate to each other.
