Today the Emergency Services began constructing the 6 storey hospital with an ambulance entrance that includes a helipad. Work has continued on the Police Station and the design of the Fire Station is almost complete.
Today we hit the ground running moving from sketching and design to the actual making of our flora and fauna. The biggest challenge was in getting our ground cover to match the irregular shape and size of the 'Garden of Eden'. Students have been working tirelessly on making their trees and shrubs as well as miniature clay animals. We also had a breakthrough with the department of Inner City allowing us to have a building for our Rangers. This space was not initially allocated to us so we were indeed quite blessed with this win. Full steam ahead!!!
Mrs Hofmeyr Some trees that are about to be painted green... Some wonderful park swings being made. Construction of grass and trees is well under way. Fantastic creativity from the team.
Miss Morrison Finally after days of designing and planning we have our first house made. It has been encouraging to see students deep thinking as they have created each house. 'Where will the solar panels go?' 'Will a larger building consume more energy?' Several teams were actively planning and making today. The city is slowly showing signs of development. Students in 6S celebrated their graduation today. Students receiving their qualifications have successfully completed all of the required tasks for Eco Warriors, in preparation for the making of the Eco city 'Eden'. Mrs Simpson Excellent leadership shown by the Shops and Facilities Team Manager. The group is working closely with their Architects to plan the best locations for their buildings.
They have been communicating regularly with the Parks and Community team and the Housing team. Miss Morrison Today Parks and Communities began the session with diligence and enthusiasm. The students selected another 'Team Manager' who efficiently organised members into sub-groups. The sub-groups will focus on particular areas: Miss. Morrison |
