We had such fun learning about England. We spent a lot of time learning about it and creating our own mini London to play with. We read lots of books you can see linked below. I also linked many videos that we watched throughout the few weeks we were learning about Great Britain.
We made a tea party using my china tea set that I got when I was little girl. 



Here is our worksheet for England that I created


FOOD:

We made a bunch of different recipes that we've never tried before.


  • BRITISH SCONES
    These scones were delicious and we had them as a family with tea in true British fashion.



PLACES:

  • We spent a lot of time learning about London. Big Ben, London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. We read lots of books about London. We created a small London as you can see in the photos and had lots of fun adding to it and playing with it.
  • We saw photos of Hampton Court Palace.
  • We watched a video (see below) about Stonehenge.
  • We saw a brief video with an areal view of Durdle Door which is beautiful.
Here you can see a double decker bus we created with a shoebox and wheels. We also built Big Ben with Magnatiles.

We built Bunckingham Palace. We created these soldiers out of clothespins and pompoms. My kids drew Queen Victoria, inspired by a photo in the book, "Who was Queen Victoria?" You can see they also placed the flag to show that the queen is home.

A view of the city including the London Eye.



ART:
