Curriculum Overview
History at Home
There are lots of simple ways you can help your child develop their interest in History at home. Talk about the past and how things have changed over time, look at old family photographs and talk to older relatives about their experiences. You could visit a museum, historic building or local landmark, explore historical places in your local area, read books set in the past.
