Grade 3

Travelling in our country

Module 2

Houses

Homes

The homes of the people in South Africa also differ a lot. Perhaps you have seen many different homes when you travel by car. Mum and Dad are looking for a home that will meet their needs. They would like the house to be close to a school and they must be able to afford it too.

  • Describe to a friend what your house looks like.
  • Draw a picture of your house.
    • What makes your house special to you?
    • Would you like to live in a different type of house?
    • Why do you say so?
    • Write a short paragraph about your dream house.

Here we have an example of a Ndebele home . Their houses are always decorated very beautifully. The Ndebele tribe are very proud of their houses. Note the many different patterns.

  • Now draw a Ndebele home, decorating it with patterns of your own design.
  • Remember that their houses are always very colourful.
  • Find two more pictures of other traditional homes. Paste them below.

Patterns

  1. Fold an A4 paper in four parts.
  2. Draw patterns using a black koki (find examples in magazines and other books).
  3. Colour your patterns with pastels or wax crayons.
  4. Iron the back of the page with a hot iron.
  5. Have it laminated or cover it with cling wrap.
  6. It can now be used as a place mat.

Hints: use the paper landscape.

Work from the top of your page to prevent smudging.

Remember to repeat your colours.

Apply the colours well.

Building materials

  • Have you seen that all the houses are not built from the same material?
  • See if you can find the right building material for each house: clay, reeds (straw), stone, wood, bricks, corrugated sheets.
  • Discuss in class why these houses differ.

  • Cut out an advertisement of a house that is for sale from an old newspaper and paste it below:
  • Answer the following questions:
  • What is the price of the house?
  • In what neighbourhood is the house situated?
  • Is the house big enough for your family?
  • Would you like to live in a house like that?
  • What changes would you like to make to the house?
  • Design a poster about one of these problems.
  • Suggest some possible solutions.
  • Now we have reached the end of our journey.
  • I hope you enjoyed it thoroughly.
  • Tick off, making a cross (no) or a tick (yes) to indicate how you feel about the journey.
Now I know exactly where I live.
I enjoyed speaking a different language.
I enjoyed listening to our guest speaker.
All the different houses are pretty.
It worries me that there are not enough homes for all the people in our country
