Globalising cityscapes
Globees are 3D maps of cities showing major landmarks and buildings. Teachers Helen Hackett and David Williams organised a history and geography project for their Year 5 pupils to make suggestions for a new Birmingham Globee.
“It really motivated them: they researched the places, enjoyed visits to key landmarks and recorded everything they saw,” Hackett says.
