 Geography Challenge for Term 1:

How many street names can you find in Barming? You could go on a walk around the local area as a family, look at a map or explore Google Earth. Encourage your child to write a list of all the street names they can find (or write the street names for them), write your child's name & class name on the list and hand the list into the brown box in the school office before Friday 13th October. A winner will be announced before the end of half term and a prize will be awarded! Happy street name hunting!
