I have made a world history time line on power point so with every click the next period of study appears in chronological order. I have also tried to demonstrate the over lap of periods, and the size of the labels are intended to show duration of the period. The time line shows BC/BCE and AD/CE. I have made a separate time line on the PowerPoint for 0AD onwards. The time line is editable if you want to remove or add particular periods of time. Also included a time line activity for the children’s books.

I have created a progression document for historical key words from year 1- 6. I have broken down the term chronology and have assigned words that would be appropriate to use for different year groups. I have also broken down general key words used in history and have assigned them to appropriate year groups. Also included is topic specific vocabulary. The document is editable if you feel you would prefer some terminology in other year groups.

This power point is intended for KS1 to introduce the concept of chronology exploring living memory and beyond living memory. The power point is adaptable depending on what topic you are teaching. I would use this at the beginning of every history topic in year one and two. It also comes with a time line which can be used as an activity and be stuck in the children’s books.

I have broken down the primary history curriculum into some key skills. I have followed these skills through from year 1 to 6 so you can clearly see how the skill develops as the child progresses through the school.
