Downside Primary School

 

History

Intent

At Downside Primary School, our History curriculum is designed to captivate and nurture our children’s curiosity about the past, fueling their aspirations to become the Historians of tomorrow. We aim to foster a rich and broad Historical educational experience that empowers our children to delve, ask leading questions and articulate their views using learnt, rich historical vocabulary.

Our History Curriculum is unique and accessible to all learners. We offer a carefully sequenced curriculum that gives our children a broad understanding of the chronological development of both world and British history; ultimately cultivating lifelong learners who understand how history shapes the world we live in today.

Year 2 - Fire service visit

We had a visit from the local fire service. They taught us all about how to stay safe in the event of a fire. We had fun squirting the hose too! This visit will prepare us for our history unit next half term where we will be comparing similarities and differences between the fire service now and what they had in 1666.
