Further to the last post - Holiday thinking - I've had a play, sorry, I mean I've been exploring the idea of a port. I blocked up a temporary idea, grabbed some screenshots and then went on a demolition fest. I'll give these images to the group next week, and see what they make of them in their plans before they start building in the re-vacated area.
Before the half term break began, the main 'designers' of the city (the original 4 children) decided that the city needed a new feature. As it was situated next to the sea, they thought a port would be a good idea.

I had feared that all the pupils work in the initial project had been lost forever, so I am extremely pleased that some of it could be recovered and placed here.

I'm pleased to have found a way to recover the work from the corrupted world and as a result place the Minecraft model of the school and the statue of Christ the Redeemer in the world. This was possible thanks to a piece of software called MCEdit that allowed me to access the corrupted world, then copy and paste buildings into the new project.
So, now we have the following buildings added;
