Our World Around Us topic for P3/P4 is 'Our School'.  We looked at an overhead, birds eye view of our school on the interactive whiteboard. From the plan the children were able to work out where our classroom was and all the other classrooms. Then in groups they made 3D models of a plan of our school. They used -

  • Lego
  • clixi shapes
  • multi-link

The children were involved in planning, discussing, building and then presenting their models.  They had to think about the length of the walls in rooms to get an idea of scale. Have a look at the photos and also the video of this activity.    Click here for  OUR SCHOOL PLAN VIDEO
