Why events happen in history
This History scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help Key stage 2 pupils understand the relationship between causes, events, and consequences. It explores how to distinguish between short- and long-term causes, assess consequences, and support pupils in interpreting the impact of historical events. The video demonstrates how to use visual tools like diagrams to help children organise, sort, and evaluate causes and consequences effectively.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History skills resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support the pupils in developing deeper understanding of historical change, forming judgments, and analysing the significance of past events in lessons like the ones below.
