Introduction

• We have been learning about homes.
• A home is an enclosure that gives you privacy
  and keeps you safe sheltered and comfortable.
  Homes vary in size and construction. Some are and
  made of leather , some are made of mud and some
  are made using bricks.
• People around the world live in a variety of
  homes, these include houseboatstepeescave
  housesigloos and mud huts. Some houses keep
  people cool and some keep people warm.
• Our presentation is going to show you just a few
  of the things that we have been learning.

Victorian Houses

• In Victorian times there was no electricity in
  the houses so people did things differently.
• To light the house they would have used candles,
  gas lamps or oil lamps.
• They didnt watch television, they played games.
• They used a carpet beater or a dustpan and brush
  instead of a vacuum cleaner.
• They didnt have cars, instead they walked, used
  a bicycle, used a horse or a horse and cart.

Victorian Houses

• They used a fire to cook with to warm themselves
  withto warm water for washing with and to heat
  the iron with.
• Many people shared a bed with their brothers and
  sisters as there wasnt much room. Mum and Dad
  slept in the other room.
• They washed their clothes in a copper, using a
  dolly, a washboard and a bar of soap.
• There would have been no kitchen in a terraced
  house, only a small scullery to do the cooking
  in.
• They had to go to a little shed outside to use
  the toilet.

Different Homes

• Homes are all different.
• Some homes are made of mud, some are carved out
  of caves, some are made of ice and some of
  bricks.
• How is your home different to your friends home?

Tepees

• Traditionally Native American Indians lived in
  homes called tepees. They were made using animal
  hides and wooden poles.

16
Tepee Construction

• YOU WILL NEED
• Some long sticks
• Some string
• a sheet of material
• Some pegs
• What you do
• 1.Put the sticks together.
• 2. Tie the string around one end of the group of
  sticks.
• 3. Spread the sticks out into a circular shape.
• 4. Wrap the material around the sticks.
• 5. Tie the material to the sticks at the top of
  the tepee shape.
• 6. Peg up the doorway, using three pegs.
• 7. Put a mat inside for comfort.
• 8. It is ready to use!

17
Building Materials

• Modern houses can be made using any material and
  some light materials have to hold a large amount
  of weight, either because the buildings are tall,
  built partially underground or for other reasons.
• We tested card to see which shape would hold the
  largest weight.

18
Strong Structures

• What you need
• Cardboard strips of the same length,
• Weights,
• Duplo lego
• Glue gun.
• What you do
• 1. First you build two Duplo towers.
• 2. Next fold or roll one of the card strips,
  sandwich these between 2 card strips and glue to
  make it strong.
• 3. Then rest the cardboard on the Duplo walls.
• 4. Finally put the weights on your bridge to see
  how strong it is.
• 5. We found that the strongest structure was made
  by folding the card into zigzags before gluing it
  between the strips of card. It held more than
  400g!

19
Modern Houses

• Modern houses have lots of glass to give the
  inside lots of light and to save electricity.
• Modern houses can be any shape and can be made
  using virtually any material.
• Modern houses can have lots of room inside and
  can be bigger than Victorian terraced houses.

How to save electricity

• Turn the lights off or put your lights on a
  timer.
• Turn things off when you have finished using
  them. Make sure you dont just use the remote
  control to turn things off.

  heating!
