We started with a large piece of white roll paper divided into 24 six by nine inch tiles.  These all had mapping coordinates on them – A1 through to D6.  Heavy tag board tiles were cut to these measurements.  These were temporarily taped together so the grade twos could draw on the basic structures of roadways, parks, and the school site.

Each student then chose their tile as their name was pulled from a box. Two students were then pulled for the extra two tiles.  Then the individual work began.  Plasticine was used as ground cover – grass, cement, or asphalt for roads.  Students chose different structures for their site. When these were all in place, details were added such as trees, stop lights, flagpoles, etc.

Five classes came and viewed our work this afternoon.

Well done, everyone!!

They were all SO happy to share their work with some older classes🙌🏻
A HUGE thank you to Ms. Branco (with Division 3) and Ms. Sansom (with Division 1) who accepted our invitation to see our hard work 💗💝💖

We set up in the downstairs corridor.  Ms. Volpe and our daytime custodian, Ben, also appreciated the work and enthusiastically told the students how they felt.

They all worked hard on creating the habitats for their modelling clay animals!!

The animals are all completed!  The students did a great job!

Tomorrow we begin the diorama habitats (in shoe boxes).

Stay tuned ….
