This week we have been using the World Map. After an adult directed activity, the children discussed their own experiences of other countries and places they know about. We looked at volcanoes and also the children were fascinated learning about wildfires. We learnt how the helicopters scoop the water up to put the fires out. We discussed other countries and the climate. The children were aware of the temperature changes around the world so we discussed the impact this can have. One child mentioned the fires so we discussed wildfires and the children learnt how they are put out. We also looked at volcanoes and which countries have volcanoes. The children talked about the floods in Potters Bar, under the bridge so we extended this by looking at news reports and why we thought it had happened. This topic will continue next week.
Our focus story for this week was 'Handa's Suprise'. The children have acted out the story and have had an opportunity to taste variety of fruit.
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Robinson
