Using timetables

Oh no! The trains delayed!

Our second area was linked to Wreck of the
Zanzibar and Why the Whales Came
6
This was used for problem solving activities.

• Capacity Problem
•  
• In the chest are a number of containers that you
  have managed to rescue.
• You have estimated that each person will need at
  least a litre and a half of water a day. There
  are 35 people who have been rescued. 
• How many times will you need to walk to the river
  in order to fill up with water if you cant carry
  more than 5kg at a time?

Our third go has been the best and we have kept
it for longer.

At the Travel Agents.

Why it has been the best

• The children created the whole area.
• They have experience of going into the travel
  agents.
• We have props!!! (although the till is driving me
  mad!)
• They have actual brochures to work from.
• They have been using the internet for real-life
  information.

10
Holiday Booking in costume! This was chosen as a
golden time activity.

• We want a holiday for two on Greek Island for 10
  nights!

11
Right Madam! Can I recommend Corfu?

• This was then priced up and the children
  continued in role to find the times of flights
  and distance from home to the airport.

Setting up a role play corner

• It does not have to have an amazing framework or
  mini building.
• It could be a chair with a display board behind
  it.
• A tiny bit of money helps.
• The childrens imaginations will create the
  scene.
• The I can statements and assessment for
  learning questions are very useful when setting
  up activities.
