Chronology from EYFS to UKS2 - Curriculum Progression

Whole school

To embed and reinforce the children's understanding of chronology, we have a school timeline in our corridor. This allows the children to reflect upon on what they have learnt in class and deepen their understanding of the topics they are currently learning about. It also supports children's understanding of when events happened and how those fit with what they have already learnt and will learn about in the future. We also have a 'History at Randlay' display which focuses on the topics covered in school and also focuses on the key vocabulary the children will need across all Key Stages.
