What do we have in common with India?

 This week, the children were given 5 items: aeroplane, basket, leaves, mug and a teabag. The children had to decide what we have in common with India; tea. 

They then discussed why India can grow tea and England can’t. From there they watched a clip as to how tea is made. The children didn’t know that tea starts out growing on a bush. 

Lastly, they completed an assessment to answer the question, Are all countries the same? A great understanding by all children.
