History

At Thornhill there are five areas of historical study which include:

Chronology - to know, understand and use dates, times and a timeline. To be able to place past events in a chronological framework.

Range and depth of historical knowledge - to describe and identify characteristics of periods and societies. To understand the reasons why things are the way they are and to make links between events, time periods and situations.

Interpretation of the past - to use a variety of sources to make assumptions about the past and what it means. (The effects of progress)

Enquiry - to use a variety of sources to ask and answer questions about the past and record this appropriately. (Opinion/fact)

Organisation and Communication - to recall, select and organise information. To use correct terms and to communicate findings in a variety of ways.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Thornhill Primary School website, filled with information which, we hope, will attract your interest and serve to give a sense of the rich flavour of life at our school.
