Project - Needs and Wants

 

In project we have been looking at what we need in order to survive.

 

We completed an activity to answer the key question set by the pupils at the start of term...

 

'How did the first people on Earth survive?'

 

We imagined ourselves as the first people on a new planet.  In groups we thought about the important things we would NEED to help us survive.  We first of all thought about 16 needs.

 

 

 

Then we cut these 16 needs down to only 9.  We decided that it would have been handy to have had the other 7 items but perhaps they would be classed as wants instead of needs.

 

 

Then we put the 9 needs into order of importance.  We decided that there was no right answer to this question so each group would have to complete this based on their own opinions.

 

 

Here we are with our Diamond 9 displays.

 

 

Look at how similar each groups decisions were...

 

We decided that the top 3 things people would need to survive are

FOOD, WATER and SHELTER
