T4- Understanding "Deep Time"

Part of having a sense of the past is developing an understanding that the world did not start with the birth of Jesus, or the Roman invasion of Britain, and that the human past is only part of the history of the world. An understanding of the significance of the development of writing can also be helpful in terms of pupils' understanding what history is as a discipline, in the sense of history being a study of the record of the past, and writing a big step forward in terms of the availability of evidence of the human past.
