In ‘Traditional stories: what do they tell us about the distant past?’ pupils move to the distant past in order to start building their chronological framework by hearing traditional historical stories. In ‘Significant explorers: how has seafaring changed over time?’ pupils develop this framework further by studying a theme that can introduce change and continuity across a long time span.

In ‘Photographs from history: what can they tell us about Britain's recent past?’ pupils built on another aspect from EYFS: understanding the past, doing so through looking at historic photographs. In ‘Traditional stories: what do they tell us about the distant past?’ pupils move from the more recent past to the distant past in order to start building their chronological framework.
