Description
The National Archives History Toolkit for Primary Schools by Clare Horrie and Rachel Hillman is an essential guide for teaching history in primary schools. This comprehensive toolkit provides instant access to genuine historical sources, exciting lesson plans, activities, and photocopiable worksheets that can be downloaded from a companion website. Teaching history using original sources is crucial for developing pupils' critical thinking skills and understanding of what history is all about. Each lesson in this go-to guide is based on an original historical source from The National Archives, enabling a unique enquiry-based approach to teaching history that will fascinate and engage pupils. Covering themes across the National Curriculum, including events of national importance, the lives of significant individuals, and aspects of social history, this toolkit makes it possible for all primary teachers to bring history to life throughout Key Stages 1 and 2.
