In the Childhood project, your child will learn words and phrases related to the passage of time. They will explore artefacts to help them to understand childhood in the past and how childhood has changed over time. They will explore the six stages of life and explore timelines and family trees. Everyday life in the 1950s will be explored, including shopping, transport, family life and childhood. They will also learn about the significance of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953 by studying photographs and online sources. The children will use maps to explore how places have changed over time and highlight any similarities or differences between childhood today and childhood in the 1950s. At the end of the project, they will create knowledge organisers for children who are about to study the topic of childhood.

How does it feel? 

As part of our Love to Investigate topic, the children have been exploring the question ‘How does it feel?' They described the properties of ice, whipped cream, chocolate and honey. They also used their senses to describe what was inside the feely boxes. 

Showcase 

Year 1 have enjoyed showcasing their work to some of the Receptions. Telling them all about what they have been learning in our topic, 'Childhood'. Well done Year 1!
