Venn Diagram - Schools

The children had pictures of different items that you would find in a school. They had to identify whether they were only used in the past, only used now or whether the object is used both now and in the past and sort them accordingly.

Different Chores

In this activity the children looked at pictures of different types of chores. The children needed to sort the pictures into 2 columns, 1 being chores that we carry out today and the other being chores that used to be completed in the past.

Old and New School Equipment

With this activity, the children looked and old and new school equipment. The children had to identify what they knew and colour in all of the new pieces of equipment.

Past and Present Transport

For this activity, we spoke about the different modes of transport we have today and what they thought they would have had in the past. We then looked at the sheet and identified the ones that are from the past and ones that we use today.

Past and Present Objects

For this activity, the children were given pictures of items from the past and present. The children had to sort the pictures into categories of what they thought was used the past and what is used now in the present day.

Then and Now

In this activity, the children were given two pictures of the same object - one old version and one new version. The children had to identify the item and sort them into categories of what was used before and what is used now.
