Lesson on the different types of houses and where people live through hands-on activities.
· Pictures of houses
· Lego, big blocks, jenga etc
Circle time – Talk and discussion about their house – size/ colour/ rooms. Show the children pictures of different houses. Divide the children into four groups and distribute lego, jenga, big blocks and play dough. Each group will create their own model of a house using the materials provided. Informally using the globe and pictures they can be shown images of unusual homes in different countries. I will read the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and we will talk and discuss about the materials they used and what was/ wasn’t the best option and why. To conclude the lesson, the children will gather together on the floor to showcase their house models and share what they learned about different types of houses and where people live.
