As part of their English and Geography learning, the children all wrote thank you letters on their first day back at school and then posted them at the local post box. The children had to follow directions, including using the words left and right in order to get there. The children learned that they can identify their left hand by looking for the L for Left. This only works, if the children remember to look at their finger nails too!
Please continue to use the words left and right with your child as these directions are very easily confused! When we returned back at school, the children drew and labelled a map of their route, something that they thought very carefully about.
