Exploring History - A Modular Timeline Display for Primary Schools

A History Timeline Display that works around your unique spaces.

St Edward’s RC Primary School contacted us to deliver a history timeline wall display that would directly tie into their curriculum. They needed something that would work around the unusual windows in their corridors, engage their pupils, and not break the bank.

The school opted to install a full set of our history timeline bubbles along each of their corridors. Key Stage 1 is downstairs and Key Stage 2 is on level one. This ensures that as the pupils track through the school, they see a consistent set of designs.

Our History Timeline Bubbles wall art showcases key historical periods and introduces imagery and facts for each era that pupils can engage with.

Alongside the bubbles we created a smaller timeline for each classroom that shows which eras the pupils will be looking at in each year. This links the learning in class to the displays in the corridors and helps them to understand how what they have learned fits into the bigger picture.

With one set on our KS1 and another on our KS2 corridor pupils see the same timeline as they progress. And the classroom versions help them know when they will learn about each era.
