As times - and technology - move on, so too does what children are taught in schools. Here are five things you might have learned about that your children probably won't.

Latin

Previously as much a mainstay as French and Spanish are today, Latin lessons are dwindling fast.

With a lack of training for teachers and retirements among the qualified, Latin has largely become a subject only taught at schools which can afford to.

Typing

Furiously building up speed on 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' is a past-time to be shelved in the annals of history.

iPads, iPhones and the ubiquity of wireless means pupils are familiar with keyboards - and often touch typing - at tender ages.

Needlework

As resources slump, budgets tighten and digital disciplines take hold, crafts including sewing, embroidery and ceramics have been put on the cutting board.

In decades past, threading a needle, darning socks and knitting were a core part of the day.

Home economics

In the same vein, it was only three years ago that the home economics GCSE was scrapped, to be merged with the existing food technology course.

A focus on food, where it comes from and healthy living - as well as a wider teaching of broader home economics - has been called for by celebrity chefs including Jamie Oliver.

Pluto as a planet

Familiar planetary mnemonics had to be ripped up in 2006 when Pluto, formerly one ninth of our Solar System, was demoted to a dwarf planet after 70 years.

School teachers were forced to dream up new ways of memorising the system, including My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos.

And here are five topics newly introduced into today's classrooms...

Coding

In September 2014, with a new curriculum in place, the first cohort of children were taught about algorithms and debugging in coding lessons.

It was part of a wider shake-up of the old Information and communications technology (ICT) lessons, to bring lessons up to date and address skills shortages in tech.

Cyber security

The same reshuffle saw staying safe online introduced to the new computing curriculum, with lessons on methods fraudsters use to access information online now taught.

The prevalence of internet and social network use among young people has also inspired classes on online viruses and firewalls.

Money

In the new curriculum, greater emphasis has been placed on teaching pupils about money management.

Secondary school pupils now learn more about balancing their books through maths and citizenship lessons.

Climate change

In the 1970s, whispers of global warming moved from scientists into the mainstream.

But it was decades later that the subject was formally introduced into schools and taught as part of geography.

Though it nearly faced the chop for younger students in 2014, climate change and its disastrous consequences today remain part of the curriculum.

3D printers and laser cutters

Today's design and technology lessons don't stop at a slightly wonky wooden photo frame.

Lessons were secondary school children have taken a giant leap into the future - with classes on 3D printers, laser cutters and robotics included.
