Wednesday

Link your homes with other places in the community.

Last week you mapped out where you normally go in your local environment. Think about how these places enrich your life. Do you go to the pool to learn to swim? Do you have a favourite restaurant to eat at or take away when your parents need a treat? Did you learn to ride your bike along the seafront or do you have treasured memories of times on the beach? What does school do for you? Do you go to church?

Thinking about your home draw a map starting with your home and adding all those places to your map. You can EXT this by writing a fact box next to the place on your map explaining what you like about it or why it is important to you. 

Thursday

PRETEND there is a house next door to you FOR SALE. You are the estate agent and you need to sell this house next door. You need to make an advert for the house. What is great about where it is? What facilities are close by? What are they like? What is the street like?

e.g This is a quiet road with kind neighbours and there is plenty of space to park on the road. If you come out of the house and walk down the road you will see the sea on the horizon. The golden sand at Dovercourt bay and its’ shimmering sea is great for a walk or to enjoy on a summer day. If you are hungry you may like to try some of the thai food in Harwich, it is delicious.
