I really liked the activity set for Where Do You Live? and it’s suitable to all the junior classrooms. I will be trying it out with my second class this year.
I would start by discussing and exploring different types of homes such as apartments/Flats, Semi-Detached, Detached, Cottage/bungalows and caravans or mobile homes. The students would then describe what their home looks like, sharing details about its shape, colour, and size.
Following the discussion, students would be given clay/playdough, or air dough (whatever is readily available to the school) to build a model of their own house. As a final step, we would bring all the models together to create a village of houses, which would be proudly displayed in the classroom.
