Back after the half term break, with future constructors of Year 5 class from
Robert Browning Primary School from Walworth, London SE17.
Children have learned about materials used in construction of buildings of the Docklands area today and in the 1800’s. We compared structure and materials used for Museum’s traditional warehouse to the modern buildings surrounding it.
Kids have compared shapes and sizes of several of London’s tallest buildings, then faced a challenge of constructing the tallest structure. During their session they were learning about balance, stability and importance of good teamwork.
As the structures grew, the excitement did too!
Few teams have joined forces together, merging their structures into a much greater constructions.
Students have achieved many geometrically stable designs, creating Docklands of their own!
Next session was with teachers from West Essex SCITT, learning about sessions offered at the Museum of London Docklands.
I hope the session inspired them to implement more creative ways of learning in their teaching!
