The children researched 3D shapes in their city and chose to model the Stormont Building in Belfast. They determined the Stormont Building has the shape of a giant cuboid. Using a scale of 1cm to 2m, the children created 50cm by 15cm cardboard models of Stormont backed with white paper to resemble its portland stone material. Working in groups, they added details like windows and doors to their 3D Stormont models.

St. Vincent Stormont
Someof our Primary3 children worked withtheirteachers on where tofind 3D shapes inour city Therewere a lotof choices!!!!!!
After a lotof research and brainstorming........Thechildren chose ParliamentBuildingsat Stormont in Belfast.
The children looked at3D shapes and pictures of Stormont tomatchtheshape withthe building. After some chat weagreed that theStormont Buildinglooked a lot Likea giantcuboid!
These are thedemensionsof Stormont. Teachers helpedthechildren withthe ratio. Wedecided that1cm = 2m (1:2) 0 100m 0 30m So our 3D modelswould be50cm inlengthand 15cm in height.
Next welooked at what materialswould be suitabletocreate our 3D Stormont models. We used thefollowing:
The childrenmeasured thecereal boxes and corrected thesize as needed. They thencarefully opened themout and turned theminside out
We decided tousepaper toback the insideout cereal boxes because Stormont is made of whiteportland stone.Thisis also less messy thanpaintingthemwhite.
With theboxes backed thechildren worked in groups toadd intheWindows , doors etc.
Finallythe children gluedand taped their Stormont modelsback together........ ..........andcreated thetriangular porched area atthe entranceto Stormont withcard
The final3D models.
