6th class were faced with the task of building treehouses last week. The children worked individually or in small groups and were tasked with building a miniature treehouse with access routes into and out of it. Once the outside structure was complete, the children were tasked with designing the interior.

The children designed their treehouses on blank paper initially and then began by using squared paper to create the floor plan for their treehouses. It was very interesting to see how each group approached the task, with some groups deciding to bring in materials from home to enhance their designs.

We ended up having cargo nets, ladders, ziplines and bridges and methods of entering and exiting the treehouses. Some treehouses featured furniture, with others including sky gardens.

Have a look at the process and some of our creations:
