Today we will be starting our new of inquiry ‘Where we are in Place and Time’ with the focus being on Personal History. To help students make connections to the central idea and the lines of inquiry please spend some time with your child collecting photographs and small objects of things that are important to your child and family - this will form an identity box for your child.
Decorate a shoe box with your family photos and place inside small objects and a few key photos. When selecting memories please think about and discuss with your child: What does this tell you about our family’s past? What do these pictures and objects tell you about your past? What changes have you encountered in your life? E.g. moving house, having a new baby brother/sister, losing a tooth, buying a new pet etc.
Throughout the unit your child will be sharing their identity box with the class. Discussions you have with your child when creating their identity box will give them the confidence and knowledge to present these successfully.
Please bring your identity box into school before Sunday 8th November.
Thank you in advance,
The KG2 Team
