Where do you live?
Start by reading The Three Little Pigs then encourage the children to describe the homes of well known characters like the Three Little Pigs, witch in Hansel and Gretel, Cinderalla, Elsa and Anna etc.
Use worksheet/images of different homes to start a discussion about children’s own homes. Each child draw their home.
Use these drawings to help make models of homes from plasticine. Set homes up to make a village scene using crepe paper… Discuss with the children what else they would see if they were in a village, take our local village as an example. Make a list of their suggestions and when finished assign each child something to make like trees, supermarket, bank, schools…
Set the extra buildings etc into the village scene. Discuss how each building etc is important to them.
Finish by reading the book All Kinds of Homes by Emma Damon thinking about homes people live in in other parts of the world.
