Every day or two, begin your history study with a review of the timeline. Settle your students on the floor in front of the line and invite them to do a silent “walk and talk” of the events on the line. Allow a minute or two for this activity, and then invite a student to stand and do a walk-and- talk aloud (see video).

First, chronology is a key concept within the NC2014 in part because of Ofsted’s report History for All, 2011. Second, it is described extensively across each key stage. Please make sure you’re aware of that and consider the role your teaching plays in its continued development.
Modern American Historical Timeline. Our Modern American timeline covers events from 1865 CE to the present, ranging from Reconstruction through the Modern Era. It does overlap our Early American timeline as it starts in 1840CE. This allows students to connect the timeframe of events that transferred over from early to modern American history.
Using Timelines to Teach History . The questions of how and why events occurred takes place over time. Timelines can serve as a visual tool for studying periods of history —a day, a year, an era— and help students grasp the nuances of causality and continuity 1. Many teachers discuss the struggle to help students care about chronology.

The new EYFS framework which comes into effect in September has a strong emphasis on the subject discipline of history. The ELG: Past and Present (P14) emphasises the beginnings of chronological understanding by ‘Know[ing] some similarities and differences between things in the past and now,’ and ‘Understand the past through settings, characters an...
Here is an annotated screenshot of the subject content for KS1. All of the content which is explicit chronology or chronologically underpinned is underlined. What stands out? Hopefully what’s clear is the way in which chronology underpins every aspect of the knowledge that we teach. In terms of using a central chronology display, there are a number...
Let’s begin with the obvious. Every suggestion is space dependent! With that in mind, there are two branches of chronology to consider: 1) the overall narrative (framework as the curriculum names it). 2) the internal narrative being studied in depth during a particular topic. After positing on social media about this blog, I had a couple of people ...
This second example uses a timeline to reinforce the key concept of duration. Within and beyond living memory are paramount to build on the EYFS’ ELG of now and past. It’s also really useful to have it at child height so that they can interact with it independently and under explicit instruction. The pictures directly relate to what has been studie...
Setting the context is really important. Chronological understanding is built up and reinforced as part of each topic and then a way to link between them. Always begin teaching with context to introduce where and when in the past this new topic sits (that’s the overall narrative). In addition, it’s also a good place to introduce the core vocabulary...
By the end of KS1, what do we want the children to understand about chronology? This is an initial unedited list of initial thoughts as I intend to refine and revisit when I’ve considered it in more depth: 1) Chronology is a way to understand how history ‘fits together’. We can use timelines to understand where our learning sits in the past and beg...
In Key Stage 2, periodisation of the past to show the greater breadth of study we teach and the more precise way our scales and timelines are depicted. These are good next steps for year 3 to begin with.

Jan 6, 2024 · How To Define Chronology. Chronology is the study of ordering events in time. It examines when events happen and how long ago or how long from now those events were or will be and is a crucial part of the history curriculum. While chronology does not dictate causation, meaning it does not say why something happened at a particular time, it ...
