History
Introduction
History is part of the Social, Environmental, and Scientific Education
Curriculum. This is a resource for teachers, parents and of course
the children that wish to study History in primary schools in County
Kildare, Ireland. All submissions and suggestions for this section
of the site are most welcome.
Through local history children can become familiar with the local
environment and they learn to appreciate the elements of the past
which have given them and their locality a sense of identity.
Through investigating, using evidence, recognising sequences,
exploring cause and effect, noticing change and synthesising the
information they have gathered, the children will come to interpret
the past for themselves.
Children can look at studies in local, national and international
contexts, explore the past from a range of perspectives and from
a range of historical periods, reflect the contributions of different
ethnic and cultural groups, social classes and religious traditions
This should foster the child's sense of local, national and European
identity
