For the last two weeks children in Foundation (Countess Way) have been reading the story The Train Ride. We have talked about journeys we have been on, by using the train, and which other ways of travelling there are, from cars and buses, planes and even boats.
The children have created maps to show their journey from their houses to school and coloured, painted and made trains. They have especially enjoyed role playing train rides and have taken it in turns to be the driver, passengers and the ticket collector.
The children have grown their understanding of ‘journeys’ and that they can be long, but may also be very short and that some journeys are made on foot.
This week we have moved on to we’re going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen where we will explore the journey the characters go on to find the bear. More on what we do for our learning later this week.
