History gives colour and vitality to the curriculum. There are just so many engaging things to do. Without history there wouldn't be so much fun; whether in handling objects such as: the old wooden toys, mechano, clockwork engines, Dinky cars and melamine dolls or sharing stories and asking questions. Every activity is an exploration into the past. Personal time lines help pupils to understand their unique identity and begin to recognise and accept diversity.
