Reading
“All pupils must be encouraged to read widely across both fiction and non-fiction to develop their knowledge of themselves and the world
in which they live, to establish an appreciation and love of reading, and to gain knowledge across the curriculum. Reading widely and often
increases pupils’ vocabulary because they encounter words they would rarely hear or use in everyday speech. Reading also feeds pupils’
imagination and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds.”
The National Curriculum in England, KS1 & KS2, Sept. 2013. P.14.
History
"A high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past.”
“History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships
between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.”
