Hi Mee

In looking at the phrase you are trying to find meaning for
Wht does it mean by 'socio cultural context of the service'.

The Social and Cultural context of the service

How can I make farm animals relevant to the socio cultural context of a service?
What part of the community most uses that service? City Children look at Farm Animals differently to country children. Understand the Socio Culture and you will be able to fit Farm Animals appropriately into the experiences that you present in a social and culturally sensitive way.

Country children you could offer more in-depth aspect etc.

Keeping in mind that Cultural issues these days can also play a part as some cultures view farm animals differently.

Hope this helps

thanks\ you very much LindyT!
this is a city preschool. I have to plan 4 language experiences, relevant to socio cultral conntext of the service and the experience has to be of interest to the children.
I've picked farm animals because of the interest of the children. What do I say about the relevance socio cultural context of the service, linking it to farm animals?

Can you please give me the module number and the actual task please it is a requirement of posting questions.

I need to know how you would answer it and I can help you move forward. Who knows you might be right on the answer from the beginning!

lesson 1: oral discussin with pictures
using sand paper letters to sound out the names of common animals like , horse, cow, dog.
lesson 2: mathiching picutrs of animals with words and singing old macdonald
lesson 3: story telling with models of animals in the barn
lesson 4: making a book of my favourite animal. children make booklet with help of teacher n an animal of thier choice. booklet has name of the animal, and children tell stry orally.

Just a though:
Are the sandpaper letters conducive to the children's learning:- Is this something they are already familiar with/used in your service? You want to be careful you are not piling too many new learning experiences on them at once.

Other than that it sounds great!

Sorry I wasn't at the computer during chat.
THank you very much , I really appreciate your help and ideas, yes the sand is conductive as Iam at a Montesorri.
Thanks again
