    Ava visited the library and looked at homes from Japan, China, Mongolia, Pakistan, and the USA. Her favourites were the homes from Japan with pointy roofs. Ava’s fun fact is that Japanese houses often don’t have couches, so people sit and eat on mats on the floor.

    We learnt that houses can be made of many materials brick, stone, wood, mud and even ice! Charlie’s favourite was the igloo made of ice because then he could play in the snow.

    We couldn’t get to the library this weekend as we were away but we looked up lots of different styles of homes from around the world. Sebastian said he wouldn’t like to live in a igloo as it would be too cold. He also said he didn’t fancy a mud hut as it would be too dirty! He said he likes living in his home which is a good job

      Technology is great if you can’t make it to the library. We did talk about how in an igloo is not as cold as you think!

    We visited the library and looked on the internet to find pictures of different houses around the world. We looked at Canadian log cabins, Mexican mud houses, Greenland igloos, North American tepee’s , African mud & straw huts, Malaysian stilt houses, and Underground houses in Coober Pedy, Australia. Jared’s favourite style of home was the Malaysian Stilt House as it was partially built over the water. Jared thought that it would be quite exciting to go straight out of the house and into a boat. He said that the people who live in those homes have to use a ladder to climb up to their house instead of using the stairs like we do. Some of the Malyasian stilt houses don’t have glass in their windows like we do.

    Alice Jones searched and found all of the following houses …
    English cottage, African mud house, a Queen’s castle, French Chateau, Eskimo Igloo, Indian Teepee.
    She has printed them out and is understanding the very different types of houses that people live in countries around the world. She can see that all of the houses are different and are made from different materials.
