Take a look at these maps of the Alton Towers Theme Park in England, UK.

Alton Towers Theme Park map                   Alton Towers Water Park map

Where would you like to go on, in either of these parks?

Are the maps useful? Are they clear? How easy are they to follow?

Do they have all the information you need?

TASKS – Choose any two activities

Why not work together as a group to do all of them and create a resort?!

1. Design your own Theme Park!

• Give it a name
• Design the rides for it – draw pictures of the rides and write an explanation of how they work, and what people can do on these rides. (are there age/height restrictions?)
• Design the map for it – make sure you label all the attractions and clearly mark the paths/roads/transportation from ride to ride.
• Design a restaurant for  your Theme Park
• Create a menu (with prices), and design a menu card/book
• Design a hotel for your Theme Park – show the insed of three rooms – economy, middle price, and VIP
• Create a price list for your Theme Park
• Make a brochure for your Theme Park

2. Design your own Water Park!

• Give it a name
• Design the rides for it – draw pictures of the rides and write an explanation of how they work, and what people can do on these rides. (are there age/height restrictions?)

In your groups you must all contribute to the discussions and decision making. Also, you must assign the following jobs: –

1. Writer – will record the day’s decisions
2. Monitor – will keep the team members on task
3. Organizer – will make sure everything is as it should be, and make sure the discussion and work load is fair
4. Gopher – will go and get various things needed by the group

These jobs will rotate through the group members. Everyday the responsibility will go to a new member of the group.

SWIMMING BLOCK ONE

For the last 10 weeks the Gr 3 students have been swimming once a week during their PE lesson.Throughout this time, the students have been working on their freestyle, backstroke and diving technique in addition to an introduction to some basic water safety. The students have been assessed and this result will be included in the January report. This swim block will come to an end this week as the pool will now be used by the middle and high school students. As a result, the students will now have three PE lessons in the gym. The next swim block will commence the week of March 17.
