Big idea

People’s choices can affect land, water, air and living things.

Words

  • land ground around us
  • air gas around Earth
  • litter rubbish left outside a bin
  • protect help keep from harm

All words on the Word Wall

Talk together

  • What changed in this scene?
  • Who or what might be affected?
  • What could people do differently?

Get ready

  • Calm before/after pictures, clean reusable paper and bin cards; no real litter handling.

Safety

  • A grown-up chooses a safe accessible route and stays close; hold hands near streets. Stay away from traffic, wildlife, unknown plants and standing water; use photos indoors if needed.
  • A grown-up stays within reach of water. Use small amounts in shallow unbreakable trays, away from power; wipe spills and wash hands. Do not drink test water.

Story time

How to help

Let your child listen, look and try before you explain. Point to the next picture if needed. Accept drawing, pointing or a voice response; writing is optional. Save the child’s own work with a date.
