We have been learning all about different houses and homes as part of our IDL. At the start of term we discussed what we would like to find out about. We decided to set up our role play area as an estate agents. The boys and girls have had lots of fun taking customers notes and finding them a house that suits them.

We have learned about lots of different houses around the world and why people would live in them e.g. igloos for warmth.

We have also been looking at maps and directions. Using a map of our local area has helped us identify important landmarks in Newton Mearns.

There have been lots of opportunities for building new skills, such as working as a team and solving problems. We have worked together to make houses for the 3 little pigs, discussing what materials would work the best.

We have had lots of fun using different play provocations to make a variety of houses.
