Memory Box

Project overview

Use our pre-planned Year 1 history project, Memory Box, to teach children about changes over time, family and community. This project develops children’s knowledge and appreciation of local history, special memories, customs and traditions, and growing up.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, 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.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones History Curriculum and not sold separately.
