1. Key questions
1.1. How do we describe the sequence of time?
1.1.1. Define 'past', 'present', and 'future'.
1.2. How has family life changed or remained the same over time?
1.2.1. Find differences/similarities in family structures and roles
1.3. How can we show that the present is different from or similar to the past?
1.3.1. Explore the differences/similarities in family structures, home life, toys and games, school, communication, transport etc.
2. Achievement Standard
2.1. By the end of Year 1, students identify and describe important dates and changes in their own lives. They explain how some aspects of daily life have changed over recent time while others have remained the same. They identify and describe the features of places and their location at a local scale and identify changes to the features of places. They recognise that people describe the features of places differently and describe how places can be cared for.Students respond to questions about the recent past and familiar and unfamiliar places by collecting and interpreting information and data from observations and from sources provided. They sequence personal and family events in order and represent the location of different places and their features on labelled maps. They reflect on their learning to suggest ways they can care for places. They share stories about the past, and present observations and findings using everyday terms to denote the passing of time and to describe direction and location.
