Building a path to a story

It is common practice to base our termly planning round a theme or topic. To give the topic a focus we often share a story with the children, and then involve them in various activities based on the story. From these activities we cover the six areas of learning. So we might start by sharing the story of ‘Handa’s Surprise’, by Eileen Browne, and then have a fruit tasting session, make fruit kebabs, squeeze our own fruit juice, and play with African animals in a ‘jungle’ we have made in the builders’ tray etc. Read this resource to learn more.
