We all know that children love stories and storytelling. In Year 3 at Tanglin Trust School, we decided to experiment with building a story into the background of a whole term’s technology teaching.

Join us as we take you through our journey to India, where we will help the town of Srinagar in their quest to build a new temple. Along the way we will share how we incorporated the use of Bookcreator, Google Earth, the Google suite, Tinkercad, CoSpaces, Mergecube and Ozobots to bring the story to life.

We will explain how over the course of 14 lessons, we embedded the key skills of our curriculum into our teaching, while using a story to engage and motivate our students through the wider topic of the year group. We will also share the academic models that underpin the lesson design and how we made cross-curricular links.
