The History 'Big Ideas'
The ‘Big Ideas’ relate to elements within a subject discipline or refer to important concepts that contribute to pupils’ personal and social development. It is essential that the ‘Big Ideas’ within each subject are understood by the children and become part of their common classroom language. In history, these 'Big Ideas' are:
- Chronology
- Innovation
- Impact

Today Year 5 held a Greek day and were lucky enough to try some Greek food all provided by Chartwells. Thank you to Marta and Mariana for their amazing workshops today!

Remembrance Day. Bella, our History Ambassador bought in some old postcards to share today, on Remembrance Day.
This term we were lucky enough to have some visitors from Poole Museum who introduced us to the Iron Age. Using our knowledge from the Stone and Bronze Age we were able to see how life further changed for our local ancestors in Poole! Not only did we see a real longboat discovered in Poole Quay, we were even able to pick up, try on and explore real artefacts from the museum: animal bones, fur rugs and woollen overalls.
