It encourages children to talk about their own lives and the lives of people around them, fostering curiosity about how things change over time.

It features clear, simple language and relatable imagery to ensure that all pupils can engage with the concept of heritage and community identity. Whether you are comparing old photographs of your school or discussing the cost of items in a shop long ago—such as a loaf of bread costing just a few pence rather than £1.50—this History local history poster eyfs core provides the perfect starting point for your lesson.
