Our Topic is 'Childhood'

This project teaches children about everyday life and families today, including comparisons with childhood in the 1950s, using artefacts and a range of different sources.

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. 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.

Homework:

Reading:  Reading is incredibly important and we would like each child to bring with them their books and yellow reading record each day in their folder.

Your child will take two different types of book home:

• Little Wandle Phonics book – this book will come home with your child on Friday, after completing their reading groups throughout the week, and is to be returned on Monday.
• Sharing book – this book has been chosen by them and should be enjoyed together. Therefore, it is important to remember that their chosen book may not directly match to their reading ability. They will be changed at different points through the week.
