Week 2 Term 2

Image
Welcome to Week 2 everyone. History is talking about people and places in the past.  Last week we had a brief look at the history of ANZAC Day and how sharing history helps us to understand how our past influences our present and allows us to tell the same stories over time. The activities for the junior years this week dig a little into family histories. For our older students, we are going to start looking at community, national and global histories.    PRE-PRIMARY How does my family tell me about the past? Students develop an understanding that stories of the past can be communicated through oral histories, photographs, books and digital media. Learning Intention Students will be able to: ● Understand that families have a past.  ● Investigate how we can learn about the past by analysing different sources.  ● Share an object (artefact) from their own past.  ● Discuss why it is significant.
