UNIT

In this set of lessons we will learn about the communities in which we live. We will think about the people who help us and think of ways to help support our community. We then think about our own homes and build them using junk modelling or blocks. Remember to plan your model before you begin so you can make sure it includes everything you need.

To name important places in my community

In this lesson, we join Miss Sidenius in thinking about the significant places that are close to our home and form part of our community. We will talk about our favourite places within our community and map them in relation to our homes. You can extend this lesson by thinking about significant people within our community.

To identify my favourite places in my community

In this lesson, we join Mrs Garrard to identify who are important people in our community. We consider why they are important and create a ‘community token’ as a way of showing our appreciation and thanks. You can extend this lesson by acting out the job role of one of the people that you identified as being important in your community.
