Different families
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some kids have a brother or sister, some don't and some might have lots of brothers and sisters. Kids can live with their mum or dad, both of their parents or maybe their granny or auntie and uncle.
Take a look at some different families in the slideshow.

MUSIC
DECLAN: Hey Pip, what did you get up to at the weekend?
PIP: We went to the beach. But you know what's annoying? I was making sandcastles and my brothers kept stepping on them!
DECLAN: That doesn't sound annoying, that sounds like fun!
PIP: That's because you don't have any brothers and sisters to wreck your things.
DING
The narrator talks about families while we see animations of families eating dinner, playing football, watching TV, playing tennis and reading a book.
NARRATOR: Some kids have brothers and sisters, and some don't, but that's okay. There are lots of different types of families.
NARRATOR: This family is sitting down for dinner. This family is playing in the park. This family is watching TV. This family is playing tennis. This family is reading a book together. All of these families are different, but are special in their own way.
DING
PIP: So Declan, what are you on at the weekend?
DECLAN: Em, I was thinking about going to the beach and making some sandcastles!
PIP: Well if you want, I can come along and wreck them for you!
DECLAN: Now that sounds like fun!
