Is there a park with a pond near where you live? Are there ducks at the pond? Next time you visit take some duck food with you to feed the ducks. It's a sunny day. Let’s go and feed the ducks down at the pond. I wonder how many ducks will be there today. Talk about the location of the pond. Is it in the middle of the park? Or is it on the edge of the park next to the car park?
We went to visit the city one day and caught a tram along the way. What do you think we noticed that day? Lots of different noises – car horns tooting, trucks reversing, clocks chiming, people talking, water rushing and tram bells sounding. Lots of shiny windows – different shaped ones, reflective ones, open ones, ones with writing and ones you can see through.
Is it a plane, is it a bird, is it Superman? No, it’s a jumbo jet bringing families home! Often when you are outside or travelling around with your child they will notice a plane in the sky. When they do, talk to them about what they can see. Can you see the plane flying in front of the cloud? Do you think it is a big plane or a small one?
We went walking and what did we see? Windows - round ones, long ones, narrow ones, patterned ones and ones with writing. We went walking and what did we hear? Noises - birds chirping, bees buzzing, car horns tooting, people laughing, crossings beeping and lifts dinging.
