Many of the qualities that are developed in PSHE and Citizenship are embraced within these particular subjects. They are fundamental to the Early Years curriculum.

Want all four lessons? Get the full pack: In this unit, children explore an event that has been commemorated annually for over a 100 years. Children investigate the origins of Remembrance Day and how its significance has grown to incorporate conflicts up to the present day. Children who belong to service or refugee families may have direct, personal experiences of recent hostilities, and their schools will need to exercise sensitivity and discretion in teaching this topic. It is helpful if the children have considered other types of anniversaries and/or commemorations and used historical sources such as artefacts and photographs to ask and answer questions about the past. Although this focuses on Remembrance day the unit can be easily adapted to fit for VE day 1: Memories • To find out why people wear poppies at this time of year. • Explain why we wear poppies for Remembrance.

Includes 1 Non-fiction text with 1 question/activity sheet. Text title: Our classroom The text is very short and includes a picture on the front of each reading card. Most children at Foundation Stage may not be able to read the text by themselves, though they may be able to guess at some of the words because of the context. The idea is that an adult or more-able reader will read the words to and with the child, before discussing the picture and the theme of the card. The Talk time questions on the other side of the card are simply suggested prompts for the adult. It is important to encourage the child to ask questions about the theme of the card. The Fun time activities are designed to trigger off cross-curricular investigations, research enquiries and creativity. The activities may be done at school or at home and a summary of the resources needed for each card is given on card G. The activities are mainly practical in nature, so that all children can succeed, whatever their levels of literacy. The Puzzle time section contains cartoons or puzzles that are related to the main theme of each card. They give children the opportunity of playing with words and reinforcing their language skills. Each card has an All join in section with either a short poem, a song or a rhyme. Very few children at this stage will be able to read the words by themselves, but the intention is for the adult and child to learn the rhyme by heart and enjoy saying it together. Leave a review

Taken from Learning Outside the Classroom: Early Years Foundation and Key Stage 1. Includes 5 detailed Lesson Plans Lesson 1: In this session, the children talked about why homes are important and thought about what it would be like to be homeless. I then introduced the children to a homeless woodlouse who needed us to help him fi nd a new home Lesson 2: This session involved a walk around the local area, where the children looked at the different types of homes in which people live. This would then lead into the next session about the different homes in which animals live, which would help the children to fi nd a new home for Harry the woodlouse. Lesson 3; In this session, we looked, in our school grounds, at the types of homes that different animals live in. The idea of the session was to gather some more ideas about the kind of home that Harry the woodlouse might like to live in Lesson 4: In this session, we looked at ‘habitats’, as a wider term for animals’ homes, i.e. the area where an animal lives, fi nds food and moves around. We studied different habitats in the school grounds and looked at the animals which lived there. We focused particularly on minibeasts, to help us decide about the habitat we could create for Harry the woodlouse Lesson 5: In this session, the class collected materials from outside to create their own habitat for Harry, which would be put outside afterwards for Harry and other wildlife to live in. The children used their prior learning about animal homes and habitats to decide on the important features of Harry’s new habitat. Leave a review
