Humanities

Through a series of exciting humanities topics, from homes through the ages to smugglers, and by making visits all over the Island, children develop an understanding of chronology. They begin to realise that the past can be divided into different periods of time. Children appreciate similarities and differences between periods of time by, for example, looking at a collection of kitchen artefacts. They develop their knowledge and understanding of local geography through a number of exciting activities, including a town walk.

 

Our children recognise and describe the physical and human features of places beyond their own locality, by looking at countries around the world. They begin to ask, and are encouraged to respond to questions, by using the correct geographical vocabulary.
