This week, we have been comparing older and newly built houses in our local area. We learnt about some of the differences such as chimneys, garages and driveways and then went on a walk to see which features we could spot. It was fantastic to hear children applying their learning from last week too. Lots of children were saying “Hey look – there’s a detached house! I can spot a block of flats! Those houses are semi-detached!”. You are such a clever bunch!
