Family and Community - How can we use our gifts to serve our family and community?

Gospel Virtues: Eloquent and Truthful

Our question for this term of 'how can we use our gifts to serve our family and community?' will be explored through the Catholic Social Teaching lens of Family and Community across the curriculum.

In history we explore this through being historians. We will be studying childrens lives of both Tudor and Victorian times and comparing them to the lives that we live today. As historians, we will be using both primary and secondary sources while understanding the importance of both throughout historical studies. We will be using a variety of tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary to ensure that our language is appropriate for historical use. In history this term we will identify labour laws for children and how these have changed, how the advancement of technology has changed over time and how medicine has changed to help us live different lives. Throughout these studies we will identify how this has changed families and communities historically.

Children will also be encouraged to share their own ideas or experiences throughout this, allowing them to build curious minds. Throughout this study we will be continually building upon our skills and knowledge. Therefore, our ‘golden nuggets’ of knowledge will be embedded in our long-term memories!
