Where we live
Watch - Explore new words about where we live, homes and places
Aria and Daisy are going on a holiday to the countryside. They travel through towns and villages on the way but will rain spoil their adventure?
Where we live!
Aria and Daisy are in the back of a car and the grownup is in the front.
Are you ready for our lush green countryside adventure.
It’s time to set off from our urban home in the town, in this terraced street.
They look out of the window at the passing town houses.
Some of the houses are tall with two or more storeys and some are short like a bungalow, which is all on one floor.
As we head out past the suburban areas, you’ll see villages, which are like a town but smaller.
Oh look at those roads and blocks of flats where people live in the distance. That looks like a city.
Lots of tall buildings, close together where loads of people and vehicles bustle and move around.
The journey is brought to a halt as the car stops at an animals crossing sign.
A herd of cows are crossing the road.
We have to wait for these cows to mooooove along.
They’re walking in a herd to that large barn surrounded by fields.
The car parks in a nearby field that is next to the farm.
This looks like a great place to stay. We can go camping here. It doesn’t have the comforts of back home, but it will be an adventure.
Aria and Daisy jump out of the car holding a game device and charger, looking for a place to charge it.
The sky clouds over and gets darker.
Oh oh, you need somewhere to shelter and fast.
The grownup is trying to put the tent up.
The rain starts pouring down and the grownup is soggy.
