Mini-Museum of Children's Lives Then and Now

To share with others what they learnt in our second unit of the year, the first and second grade students created displays about things that have changed in children's lives and presented them to visitors to our Mini-Museum.


During English language time, the Grade 2 students have been learning about paragraph writing, and were tasked with writing an informational paragraph about how things have changed. Their paragraphs were expected to have a topic sentence, at least two details about how it was in the past, as well as two details about it now, as well as a concluding sentence.

Ryann explained how the soccer ball has changed.


Richard looked into how the toys, such as toy cars have evolved.

Brandon explained how the changes to something as functional as the heaters in the class has made a difference in children's lives.
 Tiago noticed that boys and girls used to be separated but now get to learn together.
 Hirohito explained how different generations of kids enjoy playing games, but that the types of games and the way that we play them has changed.
 Aira explained how computers and the internet have changed the way students do research.
 Aruto demonstrated how pencils and erasers have made writing easier to correct your mistakes than pen and ink.
 Airen wrote about how toys today are made of plastic and often use batteries.











Riku wrote about the change from firelight to electrical light.
