History
At Trinity, our vision for History is for children to learn - in an environment that nurtures and challenges thinking - so that they consider and develop their understanding of different perspectives. From looking at events, people and achievements of the past we want them to learn from history to understand, develop and apply the British Values to their own lives. We want to inspire a deep learning from the past, so they build strong solid foundations to enable them to make informed decisions as global citizens and learn from and build on the previous historical achievements and achieve even more than they thought possible.
We teach children about a wealth of different historical events. We explore British History, from the Stone ages to the Romans and Vikings and beyond. We delve into great dynasties, such as the Ancient Greeks, Ancient Egyptians and the Mayans. Local trips and visitors, as well as taking trips virtually to Africa, South America and mainland Europe, offer opportunities for children to physically experience and explore a range of sources and thereby consider the impact of our history upon modern life.
