Leap into history with me and Nicola Hoad from Play in the Past in this episode! Nicola's play-based incursions for Primary bring history to life with a huge amount of concrete artefacts that children can explore and play with to develop their understanding of time. We chat about how learning history can teach children about the future, why play-based learning is the way to go, and what best practice history teaching looks like.
