History at key stages 1 and 2    (Year 5/6)

It is helpful if the children have:

• looked at the lives of people in other societies and periods, especially a non-European society such as Ancient Egypt
• studied the impact of people settling in England in the past
• considered the ways in which the past is represented, eg maps, pictures, eyewitness accounts
• considered some of the attitudes and values of people living in the past, their motives and the results of their actions
