History
Our History Intention
We want to inspire children to explore and learn more about the past, teach
the skills children need to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh
evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. Children
should develop a deeper knowledge of their own local, national and
international history in order to understand the complexity of people’s lives,
the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between
different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their
time.
