Hove

Hove is a town on the south coast of England, immediately to the west of its larger neighbour Brighton, with which it forms the unitary authority Brighton and Hove. It forms a single conurbation with Brighton and some smaller towns and villages running along the coast. As part of local government reform, Brighton and Hove were merged, to form the borough of Brighton and Hove in 1997. In 2000, the new borough officially attained city status.


One of the most picturesque places to visit in Hove are the colorful beach houses located along the seafront:

What about making a colourful city with milk cartons? It would be nice for 2nd or 3rd grade. Teachers would make it in groups, promoting teamwork and co-operative learning.

Create a milk carton city

What you need:

• Empty milk or juice cartons
  
• Contact paper
  
• Double-sided tape
• Stapler
• White drawing paper
• Pen
• Scissors

What next?
Rinse out your cartons and allow to dry. Open up the top of the carton to make it easier to cover in contact. Cut your contact to size and cover all outside areas. Fold the tops back together and staple where the two tops join together to form a 'roof'.
Use a black marker to draw windows, doors and roof tiling onto the white paper. Cut out, arrange and tape to your coloured cartons.
Set up alongside each other on a craft table or play area. Students can now use their own toy cars, dolls or whatever else they have to create their city.
