Are kings and queens really important?

As a historian:

• I can describe how artefacts, pictures and documents tell us about monarchs of the past.
• I can use different sources to find out about certain monarchs.
• I can describe when different monarchs reigned in England.
• I can say what happens in the country when different monarchs were on the throne.
• I can describe some interesting facts about monarchs from the past.
• I can find out about my family tree from talking to someone older.
• I can compare a timeline of the monarchs of England with a timeline of my family history.
• I can say how past monarchs have changed things for us today.
• I can research a monarch from the past.
