This week we’ve had an exciting challenge for Sharing Time.

Our topics for the week was:  Create a structure that helps our community.

This was a great chance for every student to create their own structure, based upon the information we’ve already learnt during our inquiry. Structures needed to be stable, could use a bird’s eye view, could be a 3D model and be made of any materials that we had – we had a strong focus on recycling materials.

We have a huge array of buildings presented to the class. They were:

• Cafe on Wheels – it drives to people in the community who need good, healthy meals
• Minecraft House – for the homeless
• a homeless shelter
• a food bank – which can help people who can’t afford food
• a hospital
• a house
• a CAFE – people can afford to pay for their meal or you’re given food if you can’t afford to pay this time or pay it forwards
• a hospital to look after sick people
• an apartment for the homeless
• Tower -The Harley Kalifa – series any food you’d like and has rooms available for the homeless
• a hotel – to attract tourists to your town and then they spend money which is good for the town
• Rainbow House for the homeless
• a hotel for the homeless- anyone can stay if they need shelter for the night
• a train station – public transport is important for lots of people in the community to move around the city easily and it takes more cars off the roads so there’s less pollution
• a pyramid- shelter on a hot day in the desert
• a pet hospital – takes care of sick or injured animals and also gives them a holiday area when their families are on a break
• the Extreme Hotel – it’s an extremely small hotel used for people who need shelter for a night
• a group of pyramids – good for beauty and tourism and encourages people to visit your community
• a carpark and vet centre for animals – lots of people can park their car in 1 building and drop their pets off at a centre to be exercised and looked after
• a tower – great for tourism
• a wine centre – great for tourism
• a shopping tunnel – an underground tunnel to collect shopping that you’ve bought online
• a vet/ shopping centre and hotel – great for tourism.
