So many choices….but for now, I would choose the activity set – Where do you live?
I would begin with a firm favourite (of mine), the storybook A Squash and A Squeeze by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. I love using different voices and making my voice squeakier and crazier as the woman asking for help that her house is too small.
I would then show different types of homes on the IWB – caravans, apartments, tents, terraced houses, semi-detached, small houses, mansions. We could have a chat about different experiences living in the different types of homes.
For SESE – we could look at some animal homes – what makes them similar/different? – look at houses around the world.
We could draw a map of the area we live in and count how many different types of homes are in our area (houses/apartments/caravans).
For Art – we could make houses using different materials – sticks, card, paper, paint, glue etc and create a mini village display.
