History in the Early Years.
In the Early Years, History is covered in Understanding The World. The topics covered are linked to Literacy and the weekly reading book.

Here are some of our fantastic poppies. We enjoyed learning about the importance of remembrance.
If The Dinosaurs Came Back
The children read this story and discussed what would happen if dinosaurs were living on Earth again. Would they make a good pet? Why? Why not? What would they do if dinosaurs returned to Earth.
Stellaluna
In this story, Stellaluna, a young fruit bat, becomes separated from her mother and finds her way to a nest of birds. The children are asked to think about what memories they have a baby. What makes them unique? How do our memories help us to talk about ourselves? They are also asked to consider what they can do now that they couldn't when they were a baby.
The Train Ride
The children use this story to discuss the journeys that they have been on in the past. The story encourages them to think about the places that they have visited in the past. What did they do there? Would they go again?
With this story, the children are also able to look at a variety of trains that are used throughout the world.
