Case study

"The pupils were thoroughly engaged with the software

for the best part of three hours. Some pupils

worked through break, and some came back early

from lunch to 'get on'".

When we started trialling Church Builder to Year 5 and 6 classes in primary schools in the Merseyside area, we created an introductory slide show that explained tothe children the structure of a traditional church. The slide show reinforces this by showing photographs of examples inviting the children to name the parts. They love coming out to the Smart Board or projector screen to point to the next bit.	Introductory slide show

Further reinforcement is provided by the work sheet which asks them to identify the parts. Once they have finished, you can go through the corresponding set of slides to confirm the answers with them.After this they are ready to be unleashed on Church Builder !	Work sheet

Here is an additional pupil workbook that the children can use to reinforce their learning about churches.	Pupil Workbook
