History at Derwent Lodge

History at Derwent Lodge is a journey from Roman times to Modern Britain.

A group of Vikings visit the girls in Year 3 to bring History to life. In Year 4 the girls spend a day at Ladyland farm dressed as Tudors and in the summer they go to London to visit the Golden Hinde.

We focus on the Victorians in Year 5 and one highlight of the year is when the girls all dress as servants seeking employment at Preston Manor.

By Year 6 we have reached the 20th century and the main focus is the Second World War. The girls write a project which often includes interviews with grandparents who lived through the war. The Blitz experience at the Imperial War Museum makes the girls realize how lucky they are to live now.

History is alive at Derwent Lodge.
