The students in Mrs. Walsh-Anstey's grade 2 class have planned and built a town called Rogersville!! The students embarked on a Project Based Learning activity where they worked on three important 21st Century Learning Skills: collaborative, communication and critical thinking.Each student created a representation of a service and then the town planning committee came together to plan where everything would be situated.
For example, the hospital was situated near the green space and not on Main Street, because, "People in hospitals needs to sleep and it is quiet near the nature sanctuary."
The discussion that was happening around the planning session was quite remarkable.
The Rogersville community model will be on display in the main foyer very soon!
