After a very intensive few weeks researching 'what it takes to put on a good show' the students had a shairng day in our library.
This was a fantastic afternoon of celebrations! It was impressive to see the children using ICTs with confidence to share what they had learnt. Nothing was the same, even though we had group studying the same aspect, their reporting were different - this was most noticed by the students, the were making comparisons of their information to groups that had the same.
Children took great pride in their presentations and this also created another boost of momentum for the second half of the inquiry.
This is a movie made by a junior class that shows their inquiry learning.
This really impressed me with the dedication to develop ICT skills from a less confident teacher - hats off to you!
The children have really owned this unit, there is much excitement, a real change for them to hold the power and for the expectations to be there for them to achieve success. For me, this unit has provided the opportunity for the children to really showcase their skills, it is something that in previous year they haven't been able to do - the production was too big for the children to take on. A real credit to the staff - for throwing caution to the wind and creating a truly meaningful learning experiences for the children.
From here, Miss Z presented the script to the school, this created even more excitement and children went back to house group to vote on the roles they wanted.
Children then had 3 days to get their costume organised for the show and to be shared at a parade at a special assembly.
We had geeks, jock, bogans, emos, pretty girls and ganstas.The children made a fantastic effort and really showed their character through their costumes. This created even more ownership and determination to do a great job.
