History

"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots." ~ Marcus Garvey

History at Radstock Primary School is engaging and thought provoking. We want our children to appreciate how history has shaped their lives, through learning about significant events and people, such as the impact of the Roman Empire or the excitement of landing on the Moon. We aim to have a hands on approach where ever possible: with visits from archaeologists, historical themed days and visits to museums being just some of the ways that we bring history to life.

Through well planned activities, the children are encouraged to think critically about and question historical sources and develop a sense of chronology.

We hope that their knowledge of the history of Britain and the wider world will encourage them to develop an understanding of their own lives and the lives of others, whether it be in the present or the past.
