Pupil video: My timeline
This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow History scheme of work. It helps pupils understand what a timeline is and how it shows events in the order they happened. Pupils learn that the word past describes things that have already happened, while the present is what’s happening now. Timelines always begin with now and go backwards into the past, helping us see how time passes.
Pupils are encouraged to create their own simple timelines, starting with the day they were born. They can add key moments like starting school, getting a pet, or beginning Year 1. This helps them understand that their own life has a history and introduces them to the idea of sequencing events in chronological order.
Pupil video: Clay modelling techniques
