FSFRebecca Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 When we 'did' this we asked everyone to bring in their favourite toy animal and we found out where they lived, what they ate etc - it was a really good introduction to looking at maps and led to interesting conversations about climate and landscape. We got lots of maths from this too - grouping the animals into land/sea, mountains/lowlands etc 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi does anyone know any good activites to support the world for 3-4 year olds please Thanks The educational programme is quite broad - is it the physical world or their community you are focusing on?

AnonyMouse_2821 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 The educational programme is quite broad - is it the physical world or their community you are focusing on? Cx Sorry should have said - its more the physical world. In particular the statement below. I am learning to notice and talk about similarities and differences between places/objects/materials/ plants and plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Sorry should have said - its more the physical world. In particular the statement below. I am learning to notice and talk about similarities and differences between places/objects/materials/ plants and plants There's still a huge amount in that I'd say!! you've got the natural world and the physical world (materials), plus the geographical elements of place! Places: Take photos of the areas around the setting and then get the children to sort them according to their own criteria.Discuss different places they know that might be very different (especially if they travel to visit family for example.) look at picture books that have a different setting or a changing setting such as The train ride and explore what differences they can see. Materials: examine different properties and challenge their concepts e.g a breeze block will float! develop vocabulary of materials, Natural world - use a sorting tree to examine different leaves, forest schoolis good for this if you do it?
