Behind the News

Each week we watch the Behind the News, which is a news show for kids ABC TV. This week I had the boys leave their books and devices and instead write notes on the desks which as you can see was greatly welcomed.
Luckily everyone used whiteboard pens.

Genius Project

Over the course of term 4 6 Green will be involved in a project called The Genius Project also known as The Genius Hour.  So whats this all about??

Genius hour or Genius Project is an activity that allows students to explore their own passions and encourages creativity in the classroom. It provides students a choice in what they learn during a set period of time during school.

The boys have spent some time on deciding what their project will be and what question they will answer and finally how they will present their work.

I have deliberately left the guidelines very broad and I really want the boys to be as creative as possible.

Please have a discussion with your son about his project and any ideas that he may have.
