History & Geography

Welcome to our History and Geography page!

We hope you enjoy keeping up to date with the fantastic work, visits and trips that take place within our History and Geography curriculum!

Northern Holocaust Museum

Year 6 visited Huddersifeld University for their annual trip to the Northern Holocaust Museum. The children learned about the Kindertransport project during WW2 and the stories of different children that were sent to the Yorkshire area as part of the project. They also heard stories from modern day refugees and took part in a presentation where a family member of a Kindertransport child was able to share their story in person!

History Club!

We have been able to get our very own History Club up and running in school this year which has been a huge success! From History themed crafts, to board games and battles, the children who've been involved have loved it. We're excited for the club to continue throughout the school year and we'll be looking for other children who'd like to join after the Easter break!

Local History Tour!

Year 6 had the pleasure of being given a local history tour of Wetherby led by the Wetherby Civic Society! The tour lasted around 2 hours and they covered everything there is to know about our town - they were able to use some of what we learned during the tour in a whole class Kahoot quiz at the end of their local history topic!

Young University!

Across school, this year's Young University topics are all linked to countries, with each classroom covering a different part of the world. In Year 6, their chosen country was India! The children from across school learned about the festivals, food, culture and art of India - even getting to try a mango lassi! The children also created rangoli patterns and used a Hindi alphabet sheet to write their name in the most spoken language in India!
