THANK YOU

With at technology look at things like computers your centre should have them as well as things like cameras.For communiy this would involve people visiting for things like shows etc.Hope this helps

Hi there
Natural materials - could be all sorts - introducing into play pine cones, branches, flowers. You can use these to add to existing play things like blocks/sandpit etc.
For sustainability I think something like a work farm or a recycling box.
Technologies can be calculators, cameras, typewriters as well as computers and ipads etc. Depends on how much $$ a centre is lucky enough to have.
Places - could be looking at where we come from, looking at globes,maps, books etc.
Hope this gives you some ideas
