We have another Argentine friend coming to stay with us for three weeks. I wanted to incorporate a unit on the United Kingdom to consolidate our work during her trip. We will be holiday-ing in the Cotswolds, going to Oxford and some country gardens, and doing some British cultural bits and pieces with our South American friends so a project on it made a lot of sense.
We started with a hanging basket lesson because British weather lets us have beautiful gardens!
The basics
London
A dairy farm
Working through her Lake District activity book
Stonehenge
And Big Ben
Making Stonehenge out of lemon Victorian sponge
It worked! :)
The British seaside
An apple juice shop
Ice cream shop
Seaside maths
Afternoon tea
Another ice cream shop
A British garden
British weather (a.k.a. rain)
We learnt about cloudy formations and how precipitation happens
It escalated
Cumulonimbus
Thunder cloud art, complete with a gallery installation and customers
Wales
And then the children got hit with a virus.
