Outside the classroom
Working outside the classroom environment gives younger children lots of experiences to develop their understanding. For example a simple walk around the local streets supports their growing understanding of old/new and local history. Experiencing contrasting spaces, for example a castle or cathedral helps them to begin to explore similarities and differences. Visiting historic sites or museums will encourage their language development and communication skills as well as give a context to these discussions.
