Key Stage 1 1b. How has Glossop changed throughout my life and my grandparents’ lives?

At the beginning of this unit, Key Stage 1 brought memory boxes into school to help them to discuss their memories with their classmates.  They then sequenced the objects and photographs from their own lives before going on to learn about their grandparents' lives when they were younger.

Key Stage 1 studied artefacts that would have been used in households in Glossop when their grandparents were younger.  They studied pictures and objects, asking questions about them and making inferences.  They sorted the artefacts into 'then' and 'now' and then drew and labelled their favourites.
