History is the focus of our topic learning this half term. During this topic, we will be ordering significant events in our lives and we’ll be discussing them using historical vocabulary.
During this exciting topic, the children will discuss how significant things have changed over time: the food that we eat, the shops that we visit and how trade has changed.
Below is the vocabulary that will be learnt and referred to throughout the lessons.
past | something that has already happened |
present | something that is happening now |
ancient | very old |
modern | the present day |
similarity | when something is the same |
difference | when something is different |
sequence | put in the correct order |
trade | the buying or swapping of products and services |
timeline | a list of important events arranged in order |
Help at home by talking about what shopping was like when you were younger and ask grandparents for their memories too.
