This History scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help Key stage 1 and 2 pupils understand how historians use sources as evidence to investigate the past. It explores how to identify different types of sources, extract meaningful evidence, and guide pupils in interpreting information to build their own historical accounts. The video demonstrates how to support pupils in distinguishing between primary and secondary sources and considering reliability and bias.

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 their inquiry skills and using evidence to construct well-informed interpretations of the past in lessons like the ones below.
