around the world topic - any ideas please

[Guest]

We are planning a topic 'Around the World' for next term - and are using an elf to drive the topic. He's been to visit Africa (for a little break) so were going to explore where he has been, then he is finding out about our area and lastly were going to research where he is going back to (heading back to help Father Christmas!). I am struggling with how that looks week by week in our medium term planning for literacy and understanding the world and wondered if anyone had any good ideas or may have planned something similar previously.
