Geography
As we are learning about the "Local Area" we would like to set the children a challenge. Every child should be able to orally say where they live. Can you practise teaching your children their home address. This is an important life skill and could be vital for an emergency. Here are some photographs of us on our local walk where we were learning lots of new vocabulary, what our local area is called and being introduced to human and physical features.
