Our Important Events

This week we the children to bring in a photograph or object that reflects an important life event, for example, a special birthday, christening, family celebration or personal achievement. We invited the children to share and describe their event and why it is important to them. They were encouraged them to consider how long ago the event happened and describe this using time-related words and phrases. The children then recorded information about their event using their booklet, and used a 'time words and phrases mat' to support. They were encouraged to use phrases such as:

- One year ago
- A few years ago
- A long time ago 
- Last year
