Year 2 - Topic - What can we find out about the past from our grandparents?

Our topic this term is 'What were the people in Hornchurch like 100 years ago?'





 

We were lucky to have Miss Staples' nan visit us to tell us about the past. We learnt a lot of interesting things. For example the milk man brought the milk on his horse and cart. The playground was on the roof. The toilet was outside and the bath was in the kitchen! Also at Christmas you only got one gift, an apple and orange! We were shocked!



As part of their homework children were asked to see what they could find out about the past from their grandparents. Some made some excellent posters and found out lots of interesting information!






 Daniel found out from his nan that she went to a school with only 3 classes and 3 teachers!











What fantastic projects!
