Humanities

Children enjoy learning history and geography, whereby exciting cross curricular links to other subjects and regular school excursions help inspire and engage them.

At Cannon Lane pupils learn about the environment, lives and lifestyles of familiar people in the recent past and about famous people and events in the more distant past, including those from British history.

Children actively study the local features and extend their learning outside their local area to other parts of the UK. Geographical skills such as: use of maps and coordinates, atlas work observations about the weather, climate and outdoor field work prepares children with a sense of empathy and responsibility towards their own environment.
