Session recorded 18.5.23. Answers and comments may be in response to the chat feed which you can’t see; they may appear out of context because of this.
This session focuses on the chronology elements of the 2014 English National Curriculum for History. It focuses on how chronology can be taught through the primary school age range.
This is a quick video which narrates the chronological references in the NC2014. It will hopefully open your eyes to the sheer volume of chronology within the history curriculum.
It should be used in conjunction with the live webinar.
The Chronology jigsaw I made reference to is part of my Whole School Chronology Resource. As part of this CPD session, I have created a 50% off discount code for all those that attended. The code is:
ChronCPD
During the session, I mentioned a number of chronology books which I personally enjoy using as part of reading lessons, for additional historical context or to have in the class library. Anecdotally, children really enjoy exploring many facets of chronology beyond what we cover during individual sessions. It also reduces the interval between which chronology is covered. Remember, the key element is to be really clear on what you want them to achieve to ensure their use is maximised.
Everyone that paid to attend the CPD session or access the recording is allowed to share these resources in their school and no further. This includes not being able to share with other schools in a MAT/MAC/Federation or other group of schools working together under any partnership without express written permission from myself.
Sharing resources damages the livelihood of those that create them and is a breach of copyright law.

Supporting Video and Resource:
Video 2 – modelled examples of how enquiry questions could be introduced in the classroom. Linking disciplinary (historical) concepts to prior learning where appropriate.
Video 3 – possible lesson sequences based on enquiry questions for KS1, LKS2 and UKS2. This is from a previous edition of the CPD so contains some differences in the KS1 and UKS2 questions used.
For more support on historical enquiry, please consider joining the Historical Association. A multitude of schemes of work all led in this manner written by specialists and reviewed to the highest of standards.
Terms and Conditions:
