Sorting Out
Prior to this
Part One:
In this lesson students will discuss the places explored on the school
walk. Show the students all of the pictures taken on the walk. As a class
the students will look at a map of the school on the white board with
missing places, together the students will identify the missing place.
Students will then find the correct picture of the place and stick it onto
their map. Continue this process until all missing picture are found and in
the correct place on the map.
Part Two
Show students the school map again and as a class say each of the places
on the map.
Ask students what can be found at each place and why we go there.
Show the students the corresponding videos of Sight, Smell, Touch and
Noise Cam for each place. Tell the students that the will be sorting the
different features of each place. (e.g. music instruments).
The students will work individually to cut and sort each picture into the
correct category. Once students have sorted all pictures take a picture of
the student with their work.

In this lesson students will examine the relationship between Birds eye view
and NORMAL VIEW. Students will begin by completing a 3D mapping
exercise focusing on their school. Students will work in pairs deciding upon a
starting and finishing location. Students will take turns using the string to
demonstrate the path they will take to get to different locations. Once every
student has completed this, students will go in pairs with the School Officer and
an iPad (using Facetime.) Students will video chat with the remaining class to
show the possible different routes to get to certain locations.
