When you are new to a community you could do a walk or drive around the community to get a feel for it. It will also help you get to the resources and organisations within the community that you may like to access.
For junior primary children you could adapt or jointly construct an adaption of the book I Went Walking by walking around your community with your class.
Using the basic structure and photographs from either your university community, your own community or a school community that you know you will be going on your next practical experience, produce an adaption of a book such as I Went Walking. Present your digital, hard copy or animated resource to your university class.
