Creating Budgets
Primary 6 were very excited to get their hands on the brochure for the furniture. However before we could decide on what we wanted we had to look at the layout and size of the measurements of the classroom.
One group of children worked on measuring the classroom space and recording the results. The children developed an awareness of how items would fit into the space and began to look at scale drawings.
As a whole class we then discussed how to best utilise the classroom space. Here is what the children came up with. The class discussed that this may change over the course of the design project.
The class then went on a website that showed us furniture and the different partitions that we could buy. We were given our budget, 44,000 points and we had to decide what things we would need and how many we could buy leaving some budget to buy electronics and different kinds of technology.
As a class we are now at the point where we need to collate our ideas and decide which items will best support our learning space.
