During the last couple of weeks of term 2 we looked at town planning and planning for the future.
We thought about what makes a town - what do we need and want in a town? Children worked in groups to plan a town. There was lots of discussion about what's important, what is needed in a town. Then I asked them to think about infrastructure - how will they get around in the town? How do they get water, electricity, get rid of waste? Many of them were interested to see just how much thinking has to go on to plan a town.
Here are some of their ideas.
The following week we started to think of the future. What things do we like and want to keep? What do we think needs improving? What kids of world do we think will be good for our children and grandchildren?
