Key Stage 1

History KS1 Unit 3 - What were seaside holidays like in the past?

This unit compares seaside holidays in the recent past with those taken a long time ago. Children will develop an understanding of chronology and an ability to ask and answer questions about different sources of information. Visiting a seaside resort and its local museum could develop the unit further.

OTHER RESOURCES

• Pictures or photographs of seaside holidays in the past, eg from Big books, published photo-packs, family holidays. Photos showing holidays between 1900 and the 1970s are appropriate. To help with sequencing, these need to include obvious 'clues' to the period, eg forms of transport, clothes.


• A map showing seaside resorts.


• An adult visitor who can talk about seaside holidays in the past.


• Artefacts and souvenirs from seaside holidays in the past.


• A time line.
