How EYFS pupils might be practically taught “Past and Present” by learning about the passage of time through sequencing and evidence handling
How teaching about past and present in EYFS prepares pupils for being taught about chronology, a sense of period and the duration of periods at KS1 and 2
How different story texts that can be used in EYFS can also teach pupils to spot similarities and differences between a past setting and the present as well about the passage of time.
