This theme supports teaching staff in helping children to explore the impact that their external surroundings can have, from the home/school environment and beyond.
The books and activities in our FAB Fusion Environment collection can help to develop awareness, understanding and responses to environmental issues both big and small, from litter in the child’s immediate environment to the plastics littering our oceans. Our support materials can also enable children to use and develop the appropriate vocabulary to express, discuss and share ideas in classroom settings and in smaller group contexts.
The books, games and activities in this FAB Fusion Environment collection support teaching staff in their work to view the world’s cultures with mutual respect and shared appreciation.
Given the range of cultural contexts and experiences that children newly arrived in the UK already have, it can be really helpful for teaching staff to take time to do a bit of research about the countries from which families originated or from which they may have fled. At the same time, it’s important to be mindful and sensitive to avoid making generalisations about these cultural contexts and experiences.
In this FAB Fusion Environment collection, you will find a combination that may include:
- fiction and non-fiction books – including dual language books
- rhymes, poems, and songs
- indoor and outdoor games
- puzzles and word games
- art and craft activities
- card games (words / pictures / numbers)
- objects / toys for imaginative play
