Commonwealth Games Close Up

Room 2 have had their turn to create a Commonwealth Games stadium.  The first step was to research images of their chosen sport and mark them up with labels.  

Children work together to build their stadium.

Next the children were asked to work together with other team members to construct a stadium venue that contained the features they found in their photographs.  As well as the stadium there had to be some kind of connection to other structures - a road, railway, bridge or tunnel.

No guesses for what this stadium will be used for when finished.

Each child chose their sport and group members. The "world" was created in advance and a "host"   (i.e. a responsible child familiar with minecraft)  appointed by the teacher. Their job was to keep  team members' construction projects within the "world".  Actually keeping the team from wandering off the edge of the known world was the initial challenge.
