Following this analysis theywill redesign a building to turn it into awelcoming building.  \n# SUBJECT CONTENT /\n\nGeographical skills and fieldwork: usefieldwork to observe and measure,record and present the human andphysical features in the local areausing a range of methods, includingsketch maps, plans and digitaltechnologies  \n# AIM /\n\nOUTCOMES / OUTPUTS  \n• Students feel more confident exploringtheir local area, and look up more often  \n• Students complete the accompanyingExplorer Activity Booklet  \n“To communicate through experiences of fieldworkthat deepen pupil understanding of geographicalprocesses.”  \n# _Curriculum Links\n\nNational Curriculum in England Geography Programme ofStudy Key Stage 2:  \nhttps://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/239044/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_  \nGeography.pdf  \nRIBA Learning _Place-Based Activity _ Pg.1  \nMATERIALS /  \nExplorer Activity Booklet printed out for eachstudent, A4 white paper, clipboards, sketchbooksand pencils  \nOptional materials: Cameras, iPads, voicerecorders  \n# KEY WORDS /\n\nPlan: The view of the building from above, ahorizontal section drawing through a buildingshowing the arrangement of rooms, etc. It is alsosometimes known as the Bird’s Eye View.  \nMateriality: the quality of being composed of aparticular materialUsage / Function: how the building is used  \nScale: 1 the proportions of a building or its partswith reference to a module or unit ofmeasurement. 2 In architectural drawing, the sizeof the plans, elevations , sections , etc., in relationto the actual size of the object delineated.  \n# ACTIVITY 1 /\n\nGetting to know the area /  \nAs a class, visit the area you focused on in LessonOne.  \nUse a map to navigate the area and identify keybuildings.  \nStudents can use the Explorer Activity Booklet toguide their explorations.  \nYou may wish to divide the class into smallergroups, each accompanied by an adult if easier.  \n# ACTIVITY 2 /\n\nAnalysing the area /  \nAsk each group to choose a building they wouldlike to explore further. Examples of buildingsthey might want to choose include:  \nA cultural building such as theatre, cinema or artgallery  \nA religious building such as a mosque or churchAn education building such as a library, school oruniversity building  \nA commercial building such as a shopAn office building  \nItis helpful if the group can go inside the buildings,but if not it can just be explored from the outside.  \nPrint out an Explorer Activity Booklet for eachstudent for them to comlpete. Alternatively giveeach child a piece of paper to draw the buildingand make notes. Explorations could include:  \n• Interviewing its users: What do they do there?Do they think the building is well designed andhelps them togo about their day today activities?  \n• Identifying the different activities that happenin the building  \n• Guessing how many people use the building  \n• Drawing a bird’s eye view of the building (aplan)  \n• Drawing doors, windows andthe façade (thefront of the building)  \n• Describing what is well-designed about thebuilding  \n• Describing what could make it better  \nRIBA Learning _Place-Based Activity _ Pg.2","cbCaivl1XCvxt1lo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivl1XCvxt1lo","pdf",288067,"English","# TEACHERS NOTES\n## RIBA KS2 | Place-Based Activity\n## Introduction\n## Subject Content\n## Aim\n## Outcomes / Outputs\n## Curriculum Links\n## Materials\n## Key Words\n## Activity 1: Getting to know the area\n## Activity 2: Analysing the area","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the RIBA KS2 place-based architecture activity?\",\"answer\":\"Students walk around the local area, reflect on what makes a building welcoming, and then redesign a building to improve how it feels for users.\"},{\"question\":\"What geography fieldwork skills do students practice?\",\"answer\":\"Students use fieldwork to observe and measure, record and present human and physical features using methods such as sketch maps, plans, and digital technologies.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials are needed to run the activities?\",\"answer\":\"Each student needs the Explorer Activity Booklet, A4 paper, clipboards, sketchbooks, and pencils.
