Carrabane NS, Athenry

We created this 360° tour of our school and surroundings. We went on a field trip and took some photos with a 360° camera and Tablet and sourced other photos using Google Maps. We worked together to create the tour in Google Tour Creator on our class smartboard. Enjoy!

One of our first tasks was to get into our groups and come up with ideas about our projects. We had lots of group discussions about this to decide what we would do. We created posters about our topics. Have a look at some of them here:

We went on field trips for our project. We visited our local woods, Carrabane Forest Park. Then we continued on to Dunsandle Castle where we took photos and had our picnic.

We took lots of 360 degree photos of the woods, the castle, the pitch and our school to use in our CoSpaces landscapes. The challenge was trying to hide from the camera! See if you can spot where we're hiding! 😄

We have been researching our local landscape from different perspectives - past, present, local, personal, future and fantasy. Our class worked in teams and created the following slideshows. Each team presented their work to our project partner schools and all the Virtually Here team! Our next step is to use these ideas to create our 3D virtual worlds using CoSpaces.

The final few weeks of our Virtually Here project have been spent working in our groups creating our virtual worlds in CoSpaces. This has been our favourite part! We've been busy building and coding our worlds. Here are the final CoSpaces projects from everyone in 5th class in Carrabane National School. We hope you have lots of fun exploring them! 😀
