A Life Like Mine and Bedroom 1

We started our Inquiry topic this week. It's called 'A Life like Mine' and we're going to find out lots about children around the world. We began by looking at photos of bedrooms and we matched them with pictures of the children we thought slept in them. Some of the bedrooms were very different from our own and we were surprised at some of the things we saw. We found out that sometimes children don't have their own bedrooms. They have to share the place they sleep with their whole family or with other children who aren't in their family. Other children have big bedrooms all to themselves with lots of belongings of their own. We thought it would be fun to look at pictures of our own bedrooms and guess who they belong to.
Here is the first bedroom. Can you guess whose it is?

Bedroom 1


You can email me a photo of your bedroom if you'd like to join in the challenge.
