Interactive class habitat map

Year 4 · 80 min · 1 device per pair

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

Year 5 · 80 min · 1 device per child

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.
