Houses and Homes 2011 - 2012


We have started our topic of houses and homes. Fist we discussed what we would like to learn and then we planned the topic. Today we started work. One group followed a design brief to create a house for Mrs Smith using technology. Another group began researching types for houses and gathered facts to help make a time-line. It was great fun exploring with paint to create a texture for the front of our terraced houses. The group on the computers really enjoyed creating their own 3D houses and exploring them.



Planning is very important
