The main aims of our History curriculum are to:
Coming soon… Commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day
Firs Primary School first opened as Firs Estate School in 1887.
Our school has undergone many changes since then, but amongst our modern addition, many original features remain to serve as reminders of the past and the beginning of our school community.
Amongst the records here, you can see the school log book entry which mentions the outbreak of World War Two.
We have many historical records from our school’s past. These are a wonderful primary source of evidence about historical events as they happened in our community.
At Firs, we continued to teach our curriculum with some adaptations during National Lockdown. For pupils at school, the History curriculum at school was taught as normal. For pupils at home, adaptations were made where children wouldn’t have the resources at home that would be used in school. These adaptations enabled pupils to achieve same learning objective as those in school, just in a different way. As well as adaptations to the task/resources, pupils’ may have been taught History through online zoom lessons, pre-recorded videos by the teacher (such as on loom), or links to online videos (such as National Oak Academy or BBC Bitesize). More information about our teaching and learning during lockdown can be found on our “Whole School Remote Learning Plan” Click here
