From the Flixton Primary School
By learning about the people and events that shaped our world and when they occurred, history helps us grasp our common past.
Children can develop the ability to ask good, inquisitive questions and to seek out and obtain trustworthy answers by studying history.
Your universe is incredibly small if you don't know anything about history.
It's crucial to comprehend why history is studied.
When questioned, students at Flixton Primary School gave thoughtful answers that emphasised the significance of learning from the past to prevent history from repeating itself as well as the value of understanding how changes across time can benefit us in the present and future.
The pieces of history fit together like jigsaw puzzles, and it is our role as young historians at Flixton Primary to look into the sources, ask questions, do research, and much more.
At Flixton Primary School, we have the chance to delve deeply into the subject of history.
On this page, you may also view the History policy's intention, implementation, and impact.
Flixton Primary School joined together to reflect on, remember, empathise with, learn about, and draw lessons from the history of World Wars 1 and 2 to commemorate such a significant moment in human history.
Each class took part in a memory exercise that was motivated by Danny Boyle's "Pages of the Sea."
Each youngster was given a plant with an Armistice-themed label made by Y2 as part of the significance of commemorating the Armistice.
Children will later be asked to return with their seedlings so that they can be planted to commemorate the Armistice.
We have established Flixton Primary School as a whole school to express our gratitude. Many thanks, Poppy.
We gave kids the chance to recreate a section of the Bayeux Tapestry in the style of Flixton Primary School in light of the announcement that it will be travelling to Britain!
