How would you use the activity in your classroom?
I found the hands-on themed class resources to be very practical and useful for infants. ESERO 5 Where Do You Live? could be used across subjects. We look at different houses and buildings in Geography and we examine the local community so that would tie in perfectly with this activity. I also think it would be a great starter for the children to discuss and analyse what we have in the local community. ESERO 7 Animals in the Cold would link in really well with the theme of winter in December. We already look at animals in the arctic and the antartic so this activity would be a great way to cover this topic. The Curious Minds Investigating the Children’s Coats is a fantastic way to combine subjects, I love the connection with data. I would complete this activity as I am always looking for a way to teach data by incorporating the children’s lives and interests. ESERO 12 Hot and Cold is a very fun experiment for infants to experience completing an investigation.
