UK SoW: Primary History Unit 3 (Year 1/2) http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/history/his3?version=1 What were seaside holidays like in the past?
This unit compares seaside holidays in the recent past with those taken a long time ago. Children will develop an understanding of chronology and an ability to ask and answer questions about different sources of information. The unit could be developed further by visiting a seaside resort and its local museum.
The seaside is also the focus of Unit 4 'Going to the seaside' in the QCA geography scheme of work and schools may wish to use the two units in combination.
