History in the Local Area

Local history provides rich opportunities to engage children in their immediate local area and understand their own history and how history contributes to a greater overall understanding and bigger picture. Where appropriate and applicable, children will have many opportunities to develop their historical knowledge of the local area and surrounding areas, through the use of artefacts, being out and about the local area, speaking to local members of the community and public, who can link to our historical learning.
