We interpreted the task to look at what Portland would be like if we were to become an island, what would we need to survive and how would we cope.
First Job was to make our POrtland passports - I mean if POrtland was going to be an Island we would need our own passports. Pictures were taken (with grumpy faces obviously, they are passport photos) and passports were stamped.
Our next task was a brain storm from the pupils - we decided that shoud portland become an Island, we would be ok for food as we have Tesco's on the island, phew. Oh but wait, what will we do when that runs out of food? Oh the corner shop down the road, perfect, and they have sweets! Ah, but then what happens when they run out? Eventually the children came to the conclusion that we need to think about growing our own food and making use of the farm we have on the Island.
As a starting point we have been making a 3D map of Portland as an Island, identifying all the important parts of the island that we would need. It was messy work but we hope you like the finished masterpiece - and maybe you can to identify some key features of the Island of Portland.

Photo taken from the south end of the island, showing the lighthouse and some of the many fishing board produced, Origami was a big hit!
