Historical Enquiry – KS1
In Key Stage 1, our teachers foster children’s enquiry skills by encouraging them to ask meaningful questions. Pupils are guided to explore different types of questions, such as ‘who,’ ‘what,’ ‘where,’ ‘when,’ ‘why,’ and ‘how,’ to deepen their understanding and spark curiosity about various topics.
Teachers model how to find answers by using age-appropriate resources like books, pictures, and artefacts, helping children learn to gather information and think critically. This approach not only supports their learning in history but also builds confidence and engagement, empowering them to explore the world with curiosity and an open mind.
