My journey to school - Homework
As part of our topic we have been thinking about homes around the world. Over the coming weeks we will explore 'living here in the Netherlands' and would like you to look at the buildings, homes and special features that you and your child pass on the way to school each day.
Your child will receive a strip of paper to plot their journey to school showing the main things along the way. Your child may wish to draw or use photos to represent the journey. The pictures can also be labelled if you wish.
Please return the journey picture before Monday 29 June 2015.
Here is Mr Ainscow's journey to school. Look at the things that he passes on his cycle to Diamanthorst.
