Essential resources for the Kapow Primary History scheme

This comprehensive equipment list provides a clear and organised overview of the necessary art materials for each year group across EYFS (Reception), KS1 and KS2. It ensures that teachers are well-equipped to develop the children’s topic knowledge, chronological awareness and understanding of substantive and disciplinary concepts.

How is the equipment list organised?

The History equipment list is organised by year group and then further broken down into individual units. Links to unit pages and relevant websites are provided throughout. 

The list includes specialised resources (e.g. historical sources, history-related web links, items related to a particular time period) and everyday classroom supplies (e.g. sugar paper, marker pens, sticky notes and devices).
