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

I've picked the topic farm animals based n the interest of a couple of children who have visited a farm.

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.

what do you think?

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!
