All of our Key Stage 2 children took part in a series of workshops which took them through the basics of building - strength, design, fit for purpose etc.The objective was to build (in a team) a shelter suitable for 5 people to survive in a particular habitat. The choices were tropical rainforest, desert or polar habitats.
You can see the full range of stages the children went through by watching the video below.
The workshop covered many areas of the curriculum: maths, science and technology.
The company that runs the workshops have a website. Follow this link: http://www.architectureworkshops.org/
