Project Overview
This knowledge-rich main project teaches children about everyday life and families today, including comparisons with childhood in the 1950s, using artefacts and a range of different sources.
It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
