Everything a primary timeline needs
Every history unit
Based on the Primary National Curriculum, pre-populated starter timelines for periods from the Stone Age to WWII are available. Alternatively, start a blank timeline, selecting from the event bank or adding in your own personalised events.
Whole-school timelines
Map out every unit your school teaches, tagged by year group, on one timeline. Put children's historical learning into a wider chronological framework!
Move it on the whiteboard
Use the presenter view to display your timelines on the class smart board or TV, hiding or revealing key dates, event details and impact statements that support children to understand chronological significance.
Bringing chronology to life
Pupils can engage with timelines on the class smartboard or on tablets by entering a 6-letter class code to explore the timeline in more detail. Whole class tasks to encourage discussion or promote retrieval are also available to access for every timeline you create!
Printables
The timelines you create can be saved in PDF format and printed. The timeline can be used as a resource for children, available both horizontally and vertically. There are also cut out cards that can be printed and ordered independently or on the timeline scaffold provided.
Not just history!
Whilst developing chronological understanding is a key disciplinary skill for historians, understanding chronology can be developed in other subjects too. Sequence personal milestones, traditional tales, scientific processes and instructions using Timewise!
