zigzag Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) As one of the children in our group has shown an enormous interset in London, I am planning a theme around this after Easter. I have a some ideas that I have written down but would love to hear any from you good people. Its a shame we are just so far away, no chance of a day trip!!

Candy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi I got this fab playmat for my little girl at Christmas. Not sure if you have a budget, if not you could laminate and stick landmarks around an existing mat. Or you could put them round the outside area and visit them on bike/scooter buses. The children could make maps, take a picnic pack bags etc. for their trip to London http://www.amazon.co.uk/GIANT-LONDON-PLAYM...m/dp/B000WXTTLQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 In the back of some diaries there are maps of the underground - could you copy and enlarge them and use them somehow? What about the attractions: Big Ben Houses of parliament London Eye Madame Toussords (?) Science museum London Buses Trafalgar Square Buckingham Palace - Who lives there? Etc, etc. etc Can you place them on a map and/or even draw some of them. Don't know how old the children are you are talking about so not sure what they can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 We did a whole block of work once around 'London Bridge is falling down' and the various verses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmajess Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Maybe have a look at the book, 'Katie in London' by James Mayhew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spiral Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Wow! Could you do London as you go through the Thames or London by tube stations. Actually a better thought, maybe London by the museums (science, history, art galleries etc).. Spiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Do you have an old Monopoly board? Stick photos of known landmarks over the squares and use it for counting on/ back. Edited March 29, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
