Check understanding
- Draw a familiar place they belong to and label two features (e.g. the swings, the big tree, the front door)
- Explain why a place is special to them or their family (e.g. 'Grandpa's garden is where we have picnics')
- Suggest one way to look after a special place (e.g. putting rubbish in the bin at the park)
“Can your child draw a place that's special to them — like the park or Grandma's house — label what's there, and tell you why it's special and how to look after it?”
