This morning, 6C have been busy designing and building their very own lake town, based on the book ‘The Hobbit’ by Tolkien.
To start off with, the children read the setting description of lake town from the novel. Following this, we watched the trailer of the Desolation of Smaug and a short video about how Lake Town was designed.
Using these ideas, we sketched and designed our own Lake Town house. We had to carefully select our materials and make sure that the measurements would be accurate, to ensure that the house would be stable.
After designing our house, we started to create our houses. We stopped for feedback throughout the design making process to adapt and improve our design.
