Redesign the neighbourhood

After lunch we met in the classroom again where an expert, Mr Kaashoek or in english Mr Cheescorner, was waiting for us. He gave a presentation about how the neighbourhood of the school was, is, and will be. He showed pictures and videos of how the neighbourhood will look like in two years. After the illuminating presentation we were assigned to make up a question with our group which contained italians and dutch. Some of the questions were very good and Mr Cheescorner was impressed. Then we had to take a look at the neighbourhood. We took pictures of the buildings that we wanted to change or to replace. When we got back to school, after an exhausting walk through the neigbourhood, there were little bags of chips and drinks waiting for us. After everybody had come back, we started to think about the neighbourhood of our dreams. We could make whatever we wanted but we had to make sure it was sustainable. You could hear everybody's brain work and the pencils draw. Everybody finished their beautiful plans and showed them to the other groups in the hall. Every group explained how and why they designed there neighbourhood as they did. After this everybody got 2 green stickers and we had to put them on the plans we liked. We also got a post- it, where we could write why we liked something, and put it on a plan. At the end we al got back to the classroom to take our bags and jackets and we went all home.
