History is an amazing subject to explore. It can offer so much to children in terms of knowledge and skills that can be applied to other subject areas and across different contexts. It’s important that we support children to develop these in an engaging way and work hard to really bring history to life.
There are some amazing aspects of history which we can approach in KS2 that can really set children up for further studies in the subject and beyond. If we can build on the learning that has been put in place successfully in KS1, our children will develop a love of the subject and develop life-long skills in a purposeful and relevant way to them.
During the session, we will consider:
• The significant aspects of history that we are expected to teach in KS2
• The subject knowledge required to teach KS2 history well
• Innovative ways to approach the teaching of history in KS2
• Developing learning using an enquiry approach
• Utilising books to really engage learners in history and reading alongside each other
