History
History.
We want children to understand their place in time. Students are given a broad understanding of the vastness of time through the Great Stories and how, comparatively, humans have not been on earth for very long.
We look at time through the Timelines of Life and Early People, and then the B.C.E/C.E. Timeline. These visual aids, presented with stories and different objects, help the children understand the evolution of life and development of civilisations. We study how different cultures, religions and civilisations have met the common needs of people. To help orientate students again to their turanga waewae, we also look at the contributions of different events, people, and groups of people to our country.
