Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help, I am going to be doing a week focusing on houses and homes, cant think of many ideas. So far I have:

* Children to bring in pictures of their homes to discuss
* Going for a walk around the local area to look at different houses, take pictures.

I am struggling to think of anything else, if anyone can help please.

Thank you smile.gif

Sorry Ani1, but why are you doing this if you need ideas?

Dont the children know what they are interested in?

draw houses, model make.
count houses, odd and even numbers.
materials to make a house
stories.
ani1
yes I will wait until I plan further as the children will come up with good ideas.

Thanks for your help.

remembering that a home is not always a house..

We used to introduce Romany and travellers / caravans, buses, etc.

Animal homes

Igloos , tents , etc
