History

History at Griffe Field is an exciting and interesting subject full of discovery and fun. Children start in the foundation stage learning about their own personal history under the title ‘Knowledge of the World’ and move on from there. During the time the children are in KS1 they learn about significant people like Queen Elizabeth I and II, Florence Nightingale amongst others. In KS2, the children learn about groups of people affecting Great Britain in a chronological way; in Year 3 they find out about the Stone Age, by Year 6 they are taught about World War II.

History is taught in a dynamic way, making many strong cross-curricular links with ICT, Literacy, Art and Music plus other subjects links, too. Lessons are brought to life through role play, investigation, child-chosen research. Visitors are invited in – notably The Greeks Off The Page team and even Queen Elizabeth I (oh, ok Mrs Mitchell dressed up). The children also benefit from visits to other places – sites like Derby museum, Sudbury museum of Childhood and visits around Derby linked to our whole school summer term work on ‘The Derby Project’. These visits in particular allow the children to be aware of and subsequently proud of the history on the doorstep in Derby.
