Clothes we wear
( I apologies for all spelling mistakes , the words I type are coming up or should I say not coming up on screen , the y are invisible and I have tried 2 different devised
As many of the children I teach are EAL, I would start by asking what they wear in the summer, winter , then what they wear in Ireland in the summer, winter. What they wear on a holiday to a hot country in the summer, hot country in the winter. We could then look at clothes around the world in winter, summer etc. next we will look at materials and properties. I would have a freely bag of materials and blinds folds. Ch to pick some material and run it on their face, how does it feel, is it light or heavy, think waterporoof or not? Blind fold off, look and describe the material. Next talk about animals clothes ? Where do they buy them ? How can they keep warm in winter and coolin summer if don’t have shop bought clothes ? Focus on an animal in winter eg. Polar bear, what protects it from the snow. What about a duck, how does it stay warm when wet ? Discuss. Next ch to carry out experiments using pieces of old clothing eg from a rain coat, pillow, wool etc which will be water resistant and why ? Which will absorb the most water etc…. Next lesson children can ensign and using appropriate scarps, make a water proof jacket for the doll
