Rolling back the years....
“We in the 21st century live a much better life than Iron Age people did.”
True or false? Your task is to do some research to help you decide. You will need to look at objects from the past and what people have written about these objects.
You will also need to decide how much you trust the evidence, and why.
Bring your research back to your group and decide how to use it in your TV programme.
Here are some links:
Stages in life...
Births, marriages, deaths.
Journeys and holidays.
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?

You can do the games in any order, but you must fully complete every section of each game. Tick your record sheet as you complete each game.
