Nursery World - House proud

Work from a home base for activities across the curriculum by Judith Stevens, early years adviser for Lewisham Education Children learn best when they are involved in practical, stimulating activities which are meaningful and relevant to them. A project about 'homes' gives children opportunities to extend their own understanding of something very familiar and important in their own lives, and to begin to recognise and value similarities and differences in those of other people.
