History Curriculum Intent

“History can mean two things; the past and the study of the past. The past influences all aspects of our lives. It shapes the customs and beliefs of the communities to which we belong. Learning about the past and the methods used to study it helps pupils make sense of the world in which they live.”

National Curriculum-Non-statutory Guidance

Through our teaching of History we aim to:

To arouse interest in the past and to help understand the present in the context of the past.
To give pupils an understanding of their own cultural roots and shared inheritances.
To develop a critical awareness of the past.
To develop knowledge and understanding of chronology.
To develop pupil’s ability to acquire evidence from historical sources, to understand different interpretations of history and to form judgements about their reliability and value.
To contribute to children’s knowledge and understanding of the history of other countries and other cultures in the modern world.
To communicate historical information clearly using a range of resources.

Quizzes

Regular Revisits

We use quizzes to test our knowledge and regularly revisit our learning. Sometimes the quizzes are set by other children, other times its an interactive one. We also do a More or Less question to apply our knowledge

e.g. Did the first Olympics occur before or after the founding of Rome?

Geography Curriculum Intent

At Markington Primary School we believe that good thinking skills are key to ensuring Economic Well-being for our children’s future. Children’s ability to enquire and pursue independent learning is vital if we are to secure the best outcomes for every child. The skills of geographical enquiry alongside a knowledge and understanding of different cultures, people and places provide children with a strong sense of self-identity, self-esteem and an empathy and understanding for people throughout the world, celebrating difference and diversity.

Children must be given daily experiences and opportunities that will foster their independent learning and thinking skills. The school environment must reflect the level of importance that is placed on geographical enquiry within the school community and must provide for reinforcement, challenge and stimulation.

Through our teaching of Geography we aim to:

provide opportunities for children to investigate geographical issues using wide-ranging resources.
explicitly teach the skills of enquiry and interpretation of information
provide opportunities for children to investigate place in a local, national and international context
provide opportunities for children to investigate environmental change and sustainable development
Provide opportunities for children to investigate patterns and processes
To foster a love of writing and a recognition of its value.
To develop a wide vocabulary.
To express their ideas, emotions and views, clearly, through written and spoken language.

Building the Mountain

The Highest Mountains In Each Continent

Modrock mountain

First we looked at our chosen Lake District mountain, focusing on the contours. Next we made a contour model. After we had a structure, we built on this with modrock. The next stage was to make the mountain look realistic. We then labelled the mountain features on our mountain. Our model also shows the water cycle over our mountain.
