Year 3 have been exploring their new topic "Home Sweet Home". We explored building houses, houses in the past, houses around the world, and homelessness through our planning carousel. This helped us to come up with questions we would like to explore through our topic.
We have been looking at Miss McCollum's house plans. We built her ground floor from Lego using the plan! We have also been using her kitchen plans - we compared the bird's eye view plan to the real life plan. After this we made bird's eye view plans of our own bedrooms.
We loved using spaghetti, marshmallows and masking tape to make our own houses. This was a STEM activity that required us to use lots of our thinking skills and personal capabilities - Managing Information; Thinking, Problem-Solving and Decision-Making; Being Creative; Working with Others; and Self-Management.
