My family map - year 6

The family maps are made to show how we live together with our family members. Sometimes we live in the same city, we can meet each other very often,but sometimes friends and relatives are far away. Sometimes we built big roads to our relatives, otherwise we have little paths or there is no road to some of our family members. We all live in very different families. Patchwork families, singleparents and, and, and. It was really interesting to find out something about these relations.

We worked on this project:

More than 100 students helped to realise the project.WowWe packed the boxes and we drew the maps

Hope youlllike our ideas.
