Welcome to Cape Town. Come join the party!
The Year 3 classes are learning about our beautiful city and all its history as part of the “Local Environment” component in their History lessons. Crowned by the majestic Table Mountain, Cape Town is a vibrant city full of heritage, diversity and spirit. Thousands of people flock to the city each year to enjoy all that Cape Town has to offer. We spoke about Boulder’s Beach, Table Mountain, Clifton Beach and Kirstenbosch Gardens.
During the past few weeks, the students have learnt about the history of the town and its historical landmarks. They have looked at aerial views of the city, satellite images and how to read keys and street maps. They drew aerial maps of their classrooms and even designed their own treasure maps.
To end off the unit the Year 3 classes will be going on an outing to the Chavonnes Battery Museum at the V&A Waterfront and take a ride on the Big Wheel.
