This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 History for children aged 5, 6 and 7 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with asking and answering questions about the past.
As KS1 children develop their understanding of what history means, they start asking logical questions, the answers to which will further their understanding of a particular area or topic. They may also understand how the past can be represented in many different ways, such as documents, paintings or artefacts, and this may help to aim their questioning in a sensible direction.
