What History taught in Primary school?

What History taught in Primary school?           reply

-----------------------------------
Hi all

I am hoping to write a short history book for Primary school children so I am trying to find out what history is taught in Primary schools, in particular for the older children in 5th/6th classes.

I am unsure what level of detail is shown and what facts are deemed age appropriate. Eg, would ancient Egypt or Rome be covered at all? If so, would slaves or the Colosseum be mentioned. Ordinarily I would drop into a school and ask if I could borrow a book but with the lockdown here I am.

I see the curriculum states Social, Environmental and Scientific Education is a subject that includes History, Geography and Science.

If there are SESE books available from recent years I would be interested in knowing their titles.

Any help appreciated.
