Our topic for this term is ‘Puppet on a String’ and is based on history. It focuses on changes within living memory. Children will begin to understand and use words and phrases relating to the passing of time. We have learnt about toys and household objects in the past and compared it to the same in modern times and continue with learning about schools a hundred years ago and compare it to schools in the present day.

History

This week, we are looking at two aspects of the past and comparing it to modern life – household items as well as school life.

Schools – In the past schools were very strict, all children sat in rows, teachers used black boards and chalk. Children used slates and chalk. They also had ink bottles , pens and blotting paper to absorb the surplus ink before turning a page. They did not have all the fun resources we use in school now – Interactive White boards linked to the internet, white boards, colouring pencils, felt tip pens, computers, maths resources…

Did you know Howard Primary School was built in 1897 and opened in April 1898? That is 122 years ago…

Check out this picture of a classroom from the past. Now, compare it to your class room. What is same, what is different?

Please listen to the story and enjoy it. Think about the sequence of events.
