Creative Transform (CT) sits at the Creative row and Transform column of the PICRAT grid. Below: real Geography lessons for KS2 that classify as CT, plus anti-examples that look CT but are not.
Interactive class habitat map
The class collaboratively builds an interactive habitat map of the school grounds. Each pair surveys one habitat zone (a hedge, a corner of the playground, a flowerbed) over the week, photographs the species they find and adds them to a shared map with drop pins. Each pin opens to species notes the children write. Visitors navigate the map by zone.

Children build a digital story-map of their local area
Each child builds a digital story-map of their local area that includes at least four locations (their house, school, a chosen park, a chosen shop or community space). Each location has a child-recorded audio commentary explaining what happens there and one photo. Visitors navigate the map and listen to children's voices about their place.

360-degree virtual tour of school grounds
Small groups capture 360-degree photographs of six locations around the school grounds and stitch them into a virtual tour with child-recorded audio commentary describing what they observe at each location. They publish to a class showcase that visitors can navigate.
