The London Pack Hello! Thank you so much, from both of us, for downloading these Landmark Cards, we hope you find them useful! ⛩ Many people were surprised that we have offered almost 100 Landmark Cards to download for free; but we have decided to do this to continue to support our classrooms, by providing an Amazon wish list and asking you to donate a gift to our children! It has taken both of us a very long time to design, create and edit these cards over the summer holidays, so we would suggest a price of 10p per card, giving a total cost for all three packs as £9. If you find these cards useful, and would like to show your appreciation, as well as giving back to our classrooms, please do donate through our Amazon wish list, we would be so grateful for any donations. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/X20XCNEWA6B5?ref_=wl_share Thank you! ⛩ Aims The Landmark Card collections are resources primarily designed to support construction and creation within continuous provision. These cards will not only inspire children to make more ambitious and challenging structures, but also support many other objectives from across the National Curriculum. Description The front of each card has: the name of the landmark; a large photograph, to support construction and design; a timeline with the date it was created, along with other important historical dates for comparison; and a box of facts, which includes materials used, measurements, and other interesting information. On the reverse, there are three parts: a world map showing the seven continents (each colour coded to match the cards); a country map showing the location of the landmark, and an aerial/ satellite image of the landmark, so children can locate it and compare it to other human and physical features nearby.
