Year 5 Europe…. Swiss Ski Chalets

Swiss CHALETS, a style of architecture seen in SWITZERLAND, are as well known as the country’s famous chocolate. These homes dot the landscape of the Swiss Alps, a large mountain range that runs through Switzerland. Long, sloping roofs that drip with snow, exterior beams and outdoor decks popularize these dwellings. Colourful paint and decorative shutters add a special uniqueness to this style of architecture. 

The children really challenged themselves for this project.  The used watercolours to create their snowy backdrop and used a range of media and collage techniques to created these distinctive chalets. Even the wooden shutters on their windows open and close….now that is real attention to detail!
