Role play is especially important for children learning English as an additional language. A home corner can provide real everyday vocabulary for them to get hold of and use in a relaxed way. For quiet children, the home corner can also be a place they feel comfortable.

The hunt is on! We need our parents and friends in the Hanova community to donate items for our early years students to use. Below is a list of the items you can help with:

– Books,
– Old computers
– Furniture
– Home décor
– Kitchen goods
– Boxes all shapes and sizes
– Hard hats, plants, outdoor gardening and tools
– Luggage, hand bags, purses
– Clothing all sizes and cultures, mens and womens
– Car tires, bamboo, PVC piping, pebbles…and so much more!

* It is important that these things are used and not in perfect condition. We do not want brand new items and would like a mix of cultures, patterns and colors. Thank you for your help in advance from all the students in the Early Years!
