The London Colouring Book

Product Information

Yes and we encourage it. Any city can use our open platform code available on GitHub as long as they follow the terms of use. In the Uk we have been testing the prototype for London first to provide proof of concept and identify any initial problems. Our plan is then to then work with Ordnance Survey demo how the open code allows for a simple scaling-up to cover Britain as a whole. The second approach tested is crowdsourcing, as used by other open knowledge platforms such as OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia. This requires interface features to be designed with different audiences to facilitate expert input from citizens, who actually use buildings and know how well they work for users, to experts researching into, designing, building, monitoring, protecting and managing them. The platform also tests new types of feature including the Dynamics tool used facilitate transformation of historical information, by historians, into spatial statistics for use by scientists in forecasting models, evolution animations and planning simulations.

If you want to help your class understand more about the Great Fire, you can use our Great Fire of London information PowerPoint– this contains all of the key information in an easy to digest format. Great Fire of London KS1 Information PowerPoint A man called Samuel Pepys was alive during the fire of London. He kept a diary and wrote about the fire, this gives us a lot of first-hand information about what happened. Samuel Pepys also wrote how he buried his cheese and wine in the ground to keep it safe from the fire. Without Samuel Pepys, and his writings, we would have far less information about the fire, how it started, and how it was eventually stopped. What happened after the Great Fire of London? Interpreting a range of sources of geographical information, including maps and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Colouring books for kids have been around for years. But fairly recently, it's taken off for adults too - the appeal is a combination of creativity and the dedicated focus which is great for mindfulness and mental health.Work on reliability and accuracy, and uncertainty is ongoing and the following features are currently being, or are about to be tested: The United Nations New Urban Agenda , signed up to by 167 countries, to advance sustainability development goals for cities and their communities Give children the chance to describe their crown. What is the crown made of? How valuable is the material? Do the jewels have any special powers? There's plenty of opportunity here to get children building their vocabularies and thinking creatively.

A famous and popular attraction, the Tower of London is a historic fortress that lies on the northern bank of the River Thames. It's also known as the place where the Crown Jewels are kept.This has created an urgent demand from scientists for more detailed data on the characteristics of buildings for analysis, monitoring, and for simulations and forecasting models. Though large-scale building attribute datasets are being released in some countries (e.g. property tax datasets), in the UK, attribute data remain remain heavily restricted even for academic research.

The Great Fire of London is one of our favourite topics to teach, EVER! It really does capture the imagination of children, and is a great introduction to History for children who may struggle with the notion of relating to things that happened in the distant past. There are lots of creative things you can include in this topic to really bring the topic to life, and fire up children’s imaginations. Read on for easy and time-saving Great Fire of London KS1 Activities and Resources! What happened in the Great Fire of London? Practising with crayons is a really important part of kids developing a solid pencil grip. This will make the transition to school a lot easier because they’ve already learned the fundamentals and have a solid pencil grip before they start practising handwriting. 6.Helping children learn Though anyone can experiment and innovate with our code, the Colouring Cities Research Programme (CCRP)has been set-up as a mechanism to support research-led reproduction. This is a branded programme designed to support international research institutions wishing to reproduce the concept and code, and which focuses on UN New Urban Agenda issues. Our current CCRP partners are: The American University of Beirut (Colouring Beirut); The University of Bahrain & the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (Colouring Bahrain); The University of New South Wales (Colouring Australia); The National Technical University of Athens (Colouring Athens); The Leibniz Institute for Ecological Urban and Regional Development (Colouring Dresden); King’s College London & Institut Teknologi Bandung (Colouring Indonesia), and The Colour Research Institute, China Academy of Art. However rapid progress is improving global scale of footprint coverage is being made through Microsoft/Bing’s collaboration with OSM, and its application of artificial intelligence to satellite imagery, to generate open footprints. This has so far produced open footprint datasets for the US, Canada, Uganda and Australia, which are being integrated by OSM, alongside open street-network and international national mapping agency data (where available) as well as other types of open, crowdsourced, geoinformation. Using fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present the human features in the local area using plans and digital technologies.Print, colour-in and cut out: Make your own London town Landmarks and characters Famous London Characters – A brief description This resource is completely designed and approved by qualified teachers, so you can be sure that it will engage your students and improve their fine motor skills too.

If you're a resident the easiest way you can help us is by just adding information on the physical characteristics of your home or street, and telling us of any buildings you think work well. If you're a civic society, or interested in historical research we'd love your help with our 'Age' and 'Dynamics' categories. If you're a school you could make a huge contribution by adding information on land use and storeys (schools were in fact main contributors to Britain's first land use survey run at the London School of Economics in the 1930s). If you're an architecture student perhaps you could upload relevant statistics from your course work? Tourists tend to mix up Tower Bridge with London Bridge, which is another good reason to take a closer look when colouring this famous bridge. Winston Churchill The Centre for Digital Built Britain's Gemini Principles , designed as a ' conscience' for built environment information management systems, and national digital twin of the Houses of Parliament. The chimes were first broadcast by the BBC on the 31st December 1923 when a microphone was installed in the turret and connected to Broadcasting House, home of the BBC. We're collecting twelvemain types of data, shown below, and over fifty types of data subcategories though we don't visualise them all. You can find out more about them here .Colouring London is a free knowledge exchange platform designed to provide over fifty types of open data on buildings in the city, to help make the city more sustainable. The Queen’s Guards are part of the Household Division. They have guarded the Sovereign and the Royal Palaces since 1660. speaking of sequencing, we have a great, hands-on sequencing activity that really brings this topic to life.

For a book topic, why not read ‘ The Queen’s Hat’ by Steve Antony with children? The story takes readers on a tour of many well-loved London landmarks and includes literary features like rhyme and onomatopoeia.
