History: Past and present family life

In this unit the students study personal, family and local history. Students learn about their own history and that of their family, including stories from different cultures and other parts of the world. As participants in their own history, students develop their knowledge and understanding of how the past is different from the present. Students also learn about continuity and change in family life by comparing the present with the past.  

In the middle of the term, the children will 'step back in time' with our Old Fashioned Day, where students will come dressed up in olden day clothing and participate in a range of olden day activities, as a way to celebrate the end of this unit.
