Above all, the study of history should leave us curious!

My History Mysteries are a series of teaching resources aimed at KS2, which seek to introduce children to the investigative skills required of a historian.  Each one poses a question, the answer to which, in many cases, has no consensus amongst real historians!  Children are presented with historical context and a range of sources to help them make their own minds up.

Search below for the period of history you are interested in and keep checking back as the range will continue to expand! Feel free to drop me a line if there is a particular History Mystery you would like to see added!
