Family Trees

The Year 1/2 classes were looking at Present and Past Family Life: Differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have changed or remained the same over time. An activity, both classes completed, was to paint a picture of a tree and take it home for parent homework. The parents were asked to complete the family tree only including the parents and grandparents. The children then shared their family tree with the class and we discussed the different names given to grandparents such a Pop, Nanny, Didi, Grandma, etc... We also discussed how not all families are the same and that each family tree will look different. Here is a picture of one family tree below.
