This unit is aimed at integrated Foundation/Prep/Kindy and Year 1 classes. It investigates the difference between daily life of families today and in the past. Students examine celebrations and significant events today and in other societies; special places, especially natural places and Aboriginal places, and how these places are looked after. They compare different family structures and roles and how these have changed through time. Finally the students choose characters from the past and perform a play featuring their characters. If appropriate, the students can dress up as their character and they have props, which identify past objects relating to their characters. In the last week, the students can perform the play for an audience of parents and/or fellow students.

This unit is specifically intended for integrated Foundation + Year 1 classes. The unit is also broadly compatible with units 2.4 Our Earth’s Special Places and 3.4 Communities Here and Abroad. For other classes or combinations, please use the appropriate year level units.
