  • Triumphs Show 193: Year 8 imagine the First World War trenches

      Article
    Deep into my PGCE year, I found myself discussing with my mentor how to pre-empt the barriers to understanding the past that students may face. One barrier we discussed was presentism: the tendency of students to interpret the past in light of their own modern knowledge, values and experiences. In particular, we considered...

  • What’s The Wisdom On... Historical significance

      Teaching History feature

      Primary History article
    It’s a safe bet that ancient Egypt is one of the most exciting topics on the primary history curriculum.
