On Friday 4th March Year 1 and 2 pupils and staff from St.Agnes Primary School pieced together a route to Taylor Place, from a pile of puzzling photos. They shared ideas about what might happen in these places, but some buildings don't give any clues about what happens within their walls.
Arriving at Taylor Place and looking up to the top of the tallest building, Fondant Court, which is 16 stories tall, made everyone feel a little dizzy.
Pupils sought out different patterns and textures and made rubbings. These rubbings act as 1:1 'micro maps', maybe they could be useful for ants trying to navigate their way around the space?!
Looking closely, they found that the oldest building in the development is dated 1897. While playing “I spy, with my little eye” they discovered details of residents lives, which can be seen at windows and balconies: a vase of lilies, stacks of books, photoframes, a tiny Turtle, a blanket acting as a curtain, a broom propping a door open and a line of laundered underpants!
