Scoil Mhuire Kilvemnon

The history curriculum

provides opportunities for the child to
• acquire a broad and balanced understanding of local, Irish and international history through the study of a range of peoples, events and periods,
while at the same time
• developing and practising historical investigation skills concerned with time and chronology, cause and effect, change and continuity, the use of evidence, synthesis, communication and empathy.
A history curriculum which reflects these aspects of the subject can make a unique and powerful contribution to the education of the child.
