My new house
During the school year, children can move house and change schools for various reasons. When they arrive in a new school, it can be hard for them to adapt to their new classmates and for the classmates to accept a new class member. Learning a topic about moving house and changing schools will help your learners to see that it's important to accept new people and that it can be hard but exciting for those who move. See the lesson plan.
