How it works
A name, a place and a quick word to a grown-up keep our things safe.
A name helps a lost thing find its way home. A place means no rushing to find it.
If something is lost, we tell a grown-up and look together. Nobody is cross, and things get lost sometimes.
Worked examples
A name on it
- Kit's grown-up writes his name inside his coat and on a label on his bottle.
- Kit leaves the bottle on a park bench.
- Bun reads the label and runs it straight over to him.
A place for it
- Kit's bag hangs on a hook by the door.
- His library book sits on the same shelf every night.
- His bike goes in the bike rack, never on the path.
If it is lost
- Kit cannot find his hat, and his tummy goes a little tight.
- He stops, takes a breath and asks, where did I last have it?
- He tells his teacher, and they find the hat in the lost and found box, with his name inside.
