Phase lll
Concluding the Project
While concluding the project, children represented their learning in the form of a model. It was also represented in their drawings and clay models. They came up with different ideas and materials for the model. Children also recalled their journey and learning from the project. After making the model, they shared their experience of model making and also the challenges they faced and how they resolved them.
Children shared their prior knowledge and new learning throughout the project. This was represented in the form of a web.
