Activity

Support and challenge

Adults can use the opportunity to discuss and/or support with:

  • Explaining the meaning of words from the story again using a list of definitions so that everyone uses consistent language – repetition is key for some children.
  • Challenging the children to consider whether any of the pictures should go into both boxes and to justify why an item was used in the past and the present (e.g. a hoop was a metal Victorian toy used in the past but we still have hoops today made from plastic).
