I really enjoyed working my way through all the various activities and activity sets outlined in this module and I think there are many very worthwhile and practical activities that I would really like to try in my classroom in the coming year.
One activity in particular that I would definitely like to try is the activity based on clothes for different seasons. I think this is a very concrete and hands on activity that would really appeal to the children as clothes are something that are part of their everyday life. I would begin by discussing the different seasons with the class and the characteristics of each season. I would then present the dress up box with all the clothing and the children would work together to sort them based on which season they are appropriate for. Following this we would discuss why they chose each item for a particular season. I would then encourage the children to draw a picture of themselves wearing their favourite item of clothing for the current season.
