Year 4 students immersed themselves in building their Green Dream Homes,” said Primary School Teresa Bertoli.
“The unit included a fabulous tour of Sydney’s Sustainable House by Michael Mobbs, and we had the wonderful ‘introduction to architecture’ talk by UTS Professor Anthony Burke via Zoom as he is on leave from Uni doing research and filming.
“We also had a Zoom presentation by Sustainability Engineer Jasyln Brown who spoke about the five most important features to making your home sustainable.
“We also had many parents offering to help but unfortunately time just got away with us.”
Ms Bertoli thanked everyone very much for their offers of assistance.
“The outcome was exceptional!
“The students reflected on the unit of work. Here are some of their comments.”
