3. Has my street always looked like this?
LC1: Can we make a fairy-tale map for the Three Little Pigs?
LC2:How can we recreate our own Bridle Road?
Children will follow routes given by the teachers using bee bots and small fairy-tale setting maps. We will use the outdoor area and a range of ICT programmes to develop our understanding of position and direction. Children will make a map of the three little pigs hometown and have a key for the symbols used. Children will create their own dens outside to rein act the story of the three little pigs. We will also create our own houses for the three little pigs. Children will begin to explore the story of the Three little pigs through drama and role play in preparation for writing the story the following week.
Children will go on a walk around the local area and adults will take pictures of the features they see. Children will make a tally chart on the features they see on their local walk.
Children will create their own maps of the local area using key symbols on their map. Children will create their own version of Bridle Road using modelling clay.
Children will use google maps aerial photographs to identify features we saw on our walk. Children will write the story of the three little pigs and be filmed reading parts of their story aloud.
LC3: What would the inside of a house look like a long time ago? ( 2 Weeks)
LC4: What were toys like before plastic was invented? (2 Weeks)
Children will go on a trip to a Museum to explore objects from the past. Using the Geffrye Museum artefacts online; children will look at similarities and differences between objects then and now. Children will describe artefacts they saw at the museum and put up to three objects in chronological order (toys or home objects) using phrases like: old, new and a long time ago to explain their order. Children will use the role play area to act out life in the past.
Children will use printing techniques to explore different types of houses e.g. semi-detached, detached, flats, bungalows etc.
Children will read and act out stories from the past such as The Velveteen Rabbit, Lost Toy Museum and sequence the story in order to prepare them for writing the story next week.
In the first week children will begin to identify, name and sort materials / toys by going on a material hunt. Children will explore materials to answer questions such as – Which materials are strong enough to survive? (Water, strength, weight, flexibility)
In the second part, children will design their own old toys part of a Forest School activity such as spinners, yoyos, puppets.
Children will describe artefacts of toys and pictures. They will use these artefacts to write a report on Games and Toys from the past using paragraphs, photographs, labels, and diagrams. Children will refer to materials, how the objects were used in the past and what we have today instead. Children will use phrases like old, new and a long time ago.
