Year 1 recently brought history to life by welcoming parents and grandparents into school for a very special afternoon. As part of their learning about history within living memory, the children have been exploring what it was like to be six years old in the past.
Our visitors kindly shared their memories, answering the children’s thoughtful questions about school, toys, games, and daily life when they were young. The hall was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere as stories were exchanged and comparisons made between then and now.
It was particularly exciting to see the artefacts that families brought in, including old photographs, toys, and books. These helped the children to truly connect with the past and deepen their understanding.
A huge thank you to all the parents and grandparents who joined us—your stories made this experience unforgettable for our budding historians!
