Our Social Studies topic this term is looking at Friendship, Camaraderie and Service.
You can read about it in our last post titled A Letter Home.
We found out that our local soldier was looking forward to receiving a parcel from home.
Our interactive homework was to think what his family might have sent him and to make, draw or write about the parcel.
Here are our care packages.
We were excited to see the packages, so we think the soldiers would have been VERY excited to receive them!
What would you include in a care package for someone serving overseas?
What would you like to receive in a care package?
I love this idea and the things that the children came up with, I've tweeted it to my followers. Wonderful work Yr 2/3!!

We love your care packages B4 and have learnt a lot from looking at your photographs. What a great way to share your learning.
ReplyDeleteWhen I spent a year in England my Mum would send me care packages. She would send pineapple lumps, green onion chips and ingredients to make homemade dip. These were things that you can't buy in England and they reminded me of home. I always looked forward to these packages and can imagine how excited the men in the trenches would have been when their packages arrived.
