1. Global Communities

Global Trade: Why countries trade with each other; imports and exports; how goods travel around the world; that different countries use different currencies

Similarities & Differences: Notice and appreciate ways that people are similar to and different from each other — including appearance, family structures, languages spoken, foods eaten, and celebrations observed — and understand that differences make communities interesting
Evidence from the Past: Understand that everything we know about the past comes from evidence — objects, buildings, pictures, documents, and stories that have survived
Different Accounts of the Same Event: Recognise that different people can give different accounts of the same event — and that both can be genuine while still disagreeing

Rules and agreements exist: Understand why rules and agreements exist — that they help keep people safe, make things fair, and help groups work well together — and follow agreed rules willingly rather than only when being watched

Vocabulary: making decisions and keeping safe: Know and use the vocabulary of making decisions and keeping safe — choice, consequence, rule, safe, fair, honest, trusted adult, and right and wrong — and understand that naming these ideas clearly helps make better choices
Actions and Their Consequences: Understand that actions have consequences — that what you choose to do affects both yourself and other people — and begin to think about what might happen before they act
