The boys and girls have shown a great interest in maps and countries around the World. We decided to have a closer look at a globe and different maps. We have learned that a lot of boys and girls in the nursery come from different countries or have visited different parts of the World on holiday.
O: “I’m from Albania and Greece.”
P: “I’ve been to Portugal before, I went there on an airplane.”
L: “Do you come from Poland?”
L: “My Nonna and Nonno are from Italy and I go there every year for summer.”
J: “My friend is from Bulgaria!”
A: “Did you know that the Seven Dwarfs are from Germany?!”
We decided to find all of those places on our big map! We talked about different ways of getting to those countries: buses, airplanes, boats.. We even decided that some places look so close on the map, that we could walk there! But after a closer investigation, we thought that although the distance between countries looks small, it really is huge! It would take us ageeeeees to walk there!
We kindly asked some of our friends and families from abroad if they could send us a letter or a postcard from where they are in the World – and some of them have already arrived! Together we marked our map to show where the postcards are from and our collection is growing! If you have any friends or family living or visiting other countries, we would really appreciate it if they could contribute to our postcard collection!
We were so excited to receive postcards from different places in the World that we decided to send one, too! We wrote a message, decorated the postcard and off we went to the Post Office to send it to… Poland! We’re going to count how many days it takes the letter to get there!
