BAVARIAN WINDOW BOXES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BAVARIA is a state in GERMANY, officially called the Free State of Bavaria, that is known for its charming architecture and beautiful landscape. This part of Germany is bordered by the Alps mountain range. Many buildings in this area feature timber framing which allows you to see the beams that the home is made from on the outside. Homes and buildings in the area often have many wooden or iron window boxes that are filled with bright and colourful flowers. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The children put a great deal of time and effort into creating their own window boxes, in the Bavarian style, and it was well worth it because the results are simply stunning.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe EIFFEL TOWER was built in 1889 to serve as an entrance to the World\u2019s Fair in Paris, FRANCE. It was originally supposed to be torn down after 20 years, but is still standing today and is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Nicknamed the \u201cIron Lady\u201d, the Eiffel Tower stands tall at 1,063 ft. (324 metres) in height and was at one time the tallest building in the world. However, did you know that it\u2019s not exactly that tall all year round? Due to the natural ability of metal to expand when warm and contract when cold, in the winter the Eiffel Tower is about six inches shorter than it is in the summer.\u00a0 The children learnt about symmetrical balance in order to sucessfully create their own Eiffel Tower.\u00a0 The children then designed their own ‘Blueprint’ background using parallel and perpendicular lines.\u00a0 What an amazing project that combined art and maths, maybe we will inspire future architects!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
