Year 3 have begun a major project for Term 2. Drawing on a wide range of skills and knowledge, students need to build a sample of a N.S.W. town. There are many steps involved in the production of these towns and the boys are patiently working through each one to be successful. Collaboration is paramount for this task, but other skills taught, refined and maintained are measuring with ratios, researching census data, spatial awareness, perseverance, creativity, problem solving, engineering, building – the list goes on.

These are the initial, and very important, phases where students are working together to magnify their maps. Accurate maps will allow for accurate representations of their settlement. The boys are finding this is easier said than done.

It has been wonderful to hear the positivity and encouragement among the boys as they strive for success.
