Grade four have completed their houses. Now they are creating a town around their homes. First they had to consider and map out the terrain on which they were building their town. This included ocean, rivers, forest, hills, plateau, fertile land and mountains. Then, by lottery, they determined the best location for their personal home for which they then had to give reasons.
