Our topic for these couple of weeks is my home/ my family. We will explore this topic through the following stations: 

1. Role-Play: The children take on the roles of different members of the family and are given different scenarios to role-play. 

2. The Kitchen: The children complete different tasks carried out in the home e.g. cooking the dinner, setting the table, washing the clothes, ironing the clothes etc. 

3. Small Word: Using the dolls houses and furniture, the children explore the different rooms in the house and the functions of these rooms. 

4. Water Area: The children have the task of washing and drying the dishes .

5. Construction: The children explored all the different types of homes and then used various blocks to build these homes e.g. bungalow, cottage, apartment block etc. 

6. Creative Area: The children discussed the different parts of the house e.g. roof, chimney, windows etc. They then took on the role of architects to design a house. Using recycled materials, the children then built their house.
