Humanities

At Cannon Lane children enjoy learning history and geography, whereby exciting cross curricular links are made to other subjects, and regular school excursions help inspire and engage them.

Pupils learn about the environment, lives and lifestyles of familiar people in the recent past and about famous people and events from further back in history, with a key focus on those that have impacted Britain. 

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.

If you would like to see what the children are studying and examples of work produced, please see the EYFS & KS1 and KS2 folders.
