Reception - History - Past and Present Transport
This week, the children have been engaged in exploring different types of transport from the past and present. They observed and discussed various photos, identifying key features and comparing how transport has changed over time. During the discussions, the children showed curiosity and enthusiasm. Some noticed that the older transport images looked “smoky” and suggested that the vehicles might have rust. They eagerly shared their thoughts on how transport has evolved, making connections to their own experiences. Many children excitedly talked about different types of transportation they had used, such as cars, buses, trains, and airplanes. As they examined the photos, they compared similarities and differences, such as the shapes, materials, and designs of past and present vehicles. This led to meaningful conversations about why transport has changed and how it affects our daily lives. To extend their learning, the children explored models of transport, carefully observing details and expressing their ideas through drawings and writing. They shared their thoughts and feelings about different types of transport, demonstrating an increasing awareness of history and technological progress. Overall, the activity sparked rich discussions and deepened the children’s understanding of transport over time, encouraging them to think critically and make personal connections to the topic.
