KS2 History

Mysteries in Time is an award-winning history resource that brings history to life for kids aged 6-11. Each adventure follows our characters, as they travel back in time to solve a mystery in the illustrated chapter book.

Delve further into the facts with our cartoon history experts in the accompanying history magazine, which is presented in a fun, child-friendly way. Magazines are also bursting with puzzles and activities along the way; plus have fun getting creative with the recipe and the ‘pull-out-and-do’ section. Add your timeline sticker to the timeline under the map to build up chronological understanding of how world history fits together and don’t lose your page with the matching bookmark.

All this comes in a Time Machine box so you can join our characters as they start their adventures through history.
