A teacher at Lyall Bay Primary School recently emailed me to say her class of 8-10 year olds had been studying Pioneer City over the course of two months. I met with Room 11 this week to tell them more about the project and to hear about and see their work: including their own Pioneer Cities in shoe boxes, poems, and an exercise thinking about who would be eligible to go to Mars. Here’s what I saw:
-
- Totally covered in cellophane to protect inhabitants from the harsh realities of the Martian climate
-
- Goverment: Knock first
-
- City with tubes interconnecting the various sectors
-
- Garden with lake and bridge
-
- Essential amenities
-
- Now Showing at Pioneer City: Star Wars PG, Beyblades PG, Indiana Jones PG, Star Wars 2 PG
-
- Hot dog stand
