This is a Key Stage 1 lesson plan from the Biome Builders series, Block 4 Session 2, titled 'What If? My Future Home'. It is designed for young children to explore ideas about homes, jobs and community through a story about three characters: Bolt, Dot and Cog.
The lesson opens with Bolt asking what job he might have when he is older. Dot suggests possibilities like making music, growing food, teaching, building or discovering something new. Cog adds that working hard means practising, learning and trying again.
The characters then discover a street of empty homes: a small house, a sunny apartment and a treehouse-style flat. Each character chooses a different home that fits their personality. Bolt picks a sunny apartment with a balcony for adventures. Dot chooses a peaceful apartment near a garden with cushions and plants. Cog selects a roomy flat with a workbench for building and fixing things.
The lesson encourages children to think about what they would put in their own space and how a home can help make ideas real. It also introduces the idea that a community needs useful places beyond just homes.
