Journeys and holidays.
New home, new school.
These are the key moments in the story of a family.
Talk to your family members about them.
In your lifetime:
A new baby arrived … you travelled to the country your grandparents were born in … you got a new bedroom … you changed schools and were no longer the oldest but the youngest … a much loved person died and was no longer present in the family.
How did these moments affect and change you? How did you feel? How did they affect your parents and siblings?
Now talk to older family members – mum, dad, grandparents, uncles, aunts – about key family moments before you were born. How did they affect them and the family as a whole?
