My dream home
Talk together about your dream home. Remember your home is made up of the people in it.
You might like to think about the following questions:
• If you were in your dream home what would you hear?
• If you were in your dream home how would you feel?
• If you were in your dream home what would you see?
You might draw your dream home here.

New start
Interview each other about a time you started something new. It might be a new job, a new
club, going to a new school, making a new friend.
The following questions may help you get started.
• What was your new start?
• Why did you start something new?
• Were you nervous when you had your new start?
• Did you meet any new people? Who were they?
• What helped you to feel good about your new start?
