Learning goals

  • We are learning to understand the differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have changed or remained the same over time.
  • We are learning to understand the differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have changed or remained the same over time.
  • We are learning to understand the differences and similarities between students' daily lives and life during their parents’ and grandparents’ childhoods.
  • We are learning to understand how the past, present and future are signified by time, some of which have personal significance.
  • We are learning to recognise Earth is a planet in the Solar System and identify patterns in the changing position of the sun, moon, planets and stars in the sky.
