Bedrooms around the world (KS1)

Teacher notes

Explore children's bedrooms around the world, finding out a little about each individual child in the process and thinking about what they might have in common. The main activity involves drawing or making a model of their bedroom. We explore themes such as family and identity. **This lesson is best taught from the front of class.** This lesson could be split into Part 1: exploring 1 or more bedrooms; and Part 2, now your turn sharing your bedroom. This lesson would be ideal as part of an 'All about me' topic in EYFS or KS1. It could also be adapted as a 'getting to know you' activity at the beginning of the school year for KS2. **Lyfta Core Themes**: Culture and Identity, Relationships. **Lyfta core skills and values:** Empathy and Understanding Others, Creativity and Innovation. **SDG:** 3. **National Curriculum objectives:** KS1 English Speaking: listen and respond appropriately to adults and their peers ask relevant questions to extend their understanding and knowledge.
