Take your Key Stage 2 class on a fascinating journey exploring the places people live with this engaging and informative assembly script! “Houses and Homes” covers geography, history, science, and PSHE themes, making learning about the built environment fun and accessible.

The Storyline:

Guided by two narrators, the assembly starts on a typical UK street, introducing different types of houses like detached, semi-detached, terraced, flats, bungalows, and cottages through fun, personified characters (Detached Dave, Terraced Tina etc.). Discover the materials used to build them strong, meeting characters like Brick Brad, Woody Wendy, and Stone Steve who explain their properties. Travel back in time to glimpse homes from the Stone Age, Roman, Tudor, and Victorian periods, and then journey around the world to see diverse dwellings like yurts, stilt houses, igloos, log cabins, and mud huts. Explore the different rooms inside a house (Kitchen Kenny, Bedroom Betty) before reflecting on what truly makes a house a ‘home’ – safety, family, and comfort. The assembly concludes with a lively building-themed song.
