Nursery Tiger Cubs Explore the World of Houses
Written by Ms. Kate, September 2025
This week in our Nursery Tiger Cubs class, the children embarked on an exciting journey into the world of homes. From exploring the rooms inside a house to creating life-sized structures of their own, the classroom was alive with curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
The week began with discussions about the different rooms found in a home. The children eagerly identified where objects belonged—a fridge in the kitchen, a bed in the bedroom, a table in the dining room, and a TV in the living room. As they sorted objects into the correct spaces, they shared their ideas with their teachers, building vocabulary and learning to express their thoughts with confidence.Their learning continued through imaginative play, using small figurines to ‘walk’ from room to room. Guided by their teachers, the children practiced following instructions, describing what they could see, and reinforcing their understanding of each room’s purpose.The excitement grew when the children moved from miniature to life-sized houses. Divided into teams, they worked together to construct the ‘Nursery Tiger Cubs’ house using large blocks, outlining the different rooms on the floor and filling each space with furniture cutouts. This hands-on project encouraged teamwork, spatial awareness, and planning, while giving the children a tangible sense of how rooms come together to form a home. Adding another layer of creativity, the children designed their own furniture using playdough, paper, and straws, imagining tables, chairs, sofas, and beds. This activity not only nurtured fine motor skills and problem-solving but also allowed the children to experiment, plan, and bring their ideas to life.
By the end of the week, the children had not only built houses but had also built knowledge, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how spaces are organized and used. Through play, exploration, and imagination, the Nursery Tiger Cubs discovered that learning about homes can be just as much about creating and imagining as it is about identifying and naming.
