Having failed miserably to keep up to date with this blog - I am now on 6 weeks summer hols and in between doing paper work for school I am loving making materials for the shelves again!
I am planning for 2 groups of cultural work for the new term. For that I am making a load of new materials based on the 7 continents and work on Volcanoes.
Starting with the continents I paid for and downloaded this fantastic a-z resource from Trillium Montessori. To start with I am making a A-Z book for each continent. I bought some A5 folders from WHSmiths ( UK store.. bit like Staples). I have decided to do one continent book a night - as it is a very laborious task! Laminating the 26 sheets, cutting in half, hole punching and finally putting into the folder. But I am delighted with them! These are going to go in continent boxes - which are for slightly older children (6-7 year olds) so will not have as many artifacts in them but lots of information and questions to make them think more about the Continent they are finding out about.
As you can see below I have made 3 so far... so just 4 to go.
