History at Our Lady’s
““History cannot give us a programme for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves and our common humanity, so that we can better face the future.””
+ Historical Enquiry
Pupils are engaged through puzzling enquiry questions, as well as devising their own enquiry questions, to investigate the past.
+ Knowledge of History
Pupils build their 'now knowledge' and reinforce previous learning through their knowledge of: people, events, situations, and developments, chronology and characteristic features and historical terms.
+ Understanding of History
Pupils develop understanding of the 'secondary order concepts'. These include: evidence, interpretation, causation change, continuity, similarity/difference, and significance.
+ Communication of History
Pupils organise and communicate their findings so that their learning gains coherence.
