Learn the idea
A home is a place where people live. Public places serve community activities, though each place has rules and opening times. A library is connected with books and other learning materials. A park provides outdoor space; a school provides organized learning.
Home: a place where people live. Library: a place with books and learning resources. Park: an outdoor community recreation space. School: a place for organized teaching and learning.
Look at what people do in the place: live there, borrow books, play outdoors or learn with a teacher. Ask an adult to read the notes and cards aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.
- Ask an adult to read the four notes. Find the words Home, Library, Park, School.
- Look at what people do in the place: live there, borrow books, play outdoors or learn with a teacher.
- Read the worked answer. Then try the other cards and explain which words helped you choose.
- Point to, draw or say two different examples: one for Home and one for Library. Explain how their clues differ.

Worked example: The card says: “A fictional family lives in an apartment.” That matches Home. Home is a place where people live. Compare the note for Park: Park is an outdoor community recreation space. That is a different clue.
