⭐ Deep Learning in Year 5! ⭐
This term in Geography, Year 5 are investigating the question "As a manufacturer, how can we help people survive in the gold rush?". To launch our unit, Year 5 began to think about the term survival and were presented with various locations, including rainforests and deserts. Year 5 had to think about what they would need in order to survive in this area. Items included food, water, shelter, gaming devices and warm clothing. In order to share their ideas, students participated in a new learning process known as 'Popcorn' - where they were invited to think about their ideas individually, then pair up and 'pop' with someone to share their ideas with. This process was repeated three times. It allowed Year 5 to actively engage with each other, listen to others ideas and build on their own knowledge and understanding. The students enjoyed this process and were eager to share their knowledge about what they needed to survive. Year 5 look forward to continuing their learning throughout this learning cycle!
