In geography we have been considering what a house might look like that the children could live in if it were to be built in the Felixstowe area. They considered some of the materials that they might need in their design. Then, we looked at the weather conditions in the Alps. It gets pretty cold there - as cold as -10 degrees Celsius. It gets quite warm in the Alps - up to 30 degrees Celsius. There is also very heavy snowfall and very wet weather. The children then had to review their original design and consider what changes they would make knowing this information. Then, we looked at what a traditional Alpine house looks like. That they are set in the mountainside and that they have cows at the bottom for the heat to rise to help warm the rest of the house. They have very slopy roofs, a roof that overhangs and shutters. The base of the house is made of stone and the actual house is made from wood and has strong supporting beams. The children's work were chosen at random to be uploaded onto our blog.
