History
Our Rationale for History at St. Urban's.
"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots". Marcus Garvey
At St. Urban’s we aim to stimulate children’s interest and understanding about the life of
people who lived in the past and ways in which it differs from the present. We believe that
learning about the past helps children to make sense of the world in which they live and to
develop analytical thinking.
At St. Urban’s we believe that the study of history makes a valuable contribution to
children’s understanding of all aspects of life giving a sense of identity and heritage.
