Where do you live ESERO 5.
I have completed a lesson in my class this year based on where do I live. I introduced the lesson by reading the pupils the story of The Three Little Pigs. We listened to the story and looked at the pictures. We then discussed the different types of homes mentioned in the story, drawing attention to the types of materials used in the three houses. As an extension activity to this lesson, the pupils recreated the houses belonging to the pigs using a variety of different materials.
Following on from this I asked the pupils to relay to the class the type of house that they lived in. We discussed similarities and differences. I also told the pupils that I live in an apartment but that I grew up in a bungalow and showed them pictures. I think by relating it back to their lives it makes the lesson more relevant and more interesting to them.
I then brought up on the whiteboard an array of different homes, some that they would not have been aware of and asked which was their favourite and why.
We finished the lesson by using lego to create houses and had a show and tell to end.
