Online Classroom brings Year 1 History to life. The curriculum-linked topics include:

1. Family Roles and Structures:
   The first section encourages the students to explore family structures and roles in the recent past and in the present, and examine how they have changed and/or stayed the same. This section also gives students the opportunity to look at family structures in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander societies.
2. Expressing Time:
   The second section is designed to help students express time. It introduces and consolidates vocabulary to do with the past, the present and the future by exploring significant events and dates within students’ own context.
3. Daily Life Now and Then:
   The third and final section includes activities which help the students use a number of sources to investigate the lives of their parents and grandparents when they were young.
