Genius Hour

The fact that Stage 3 are on the way to being Geniuses was pretty evident today. It has been a busy term and despite some obstacles, everyone achieved a good result. We recognised that some of the students may not have finished. Instead of focusing on the product, we encouraged the students to present what they learned through Genius Hour this term.

Thank you to everyone in Stage 3 for giving an amazing effort. We also really appreciate that family members came and showed interest in everyone's efforts.

Genius Hour is back

Genius Hour is back!

Genius Hour is a time for students to consider projects that they would like to work on. There are many creative and interesting projects, with many students challenging themselves in learning new skills. Some of the activities are: 

Sewing Dolls Clothes

Sewing a dress...

Creating designs...

Creating Pokemon Balls out of Clay

Stop Animation...

Diorama on Wolves...

Cooking Chicken Satay...

Students can explore skills and interests in Genius Hour that they may not be able to in conventional lessons. Differentiation of learning often gets spoken about when discussing how to meet each students needs. Genius Hour allows each student to learn at their own level. 

The process requires that each student reflect on their own learning and needs to be able to discuss what they have achieved. Students set goals for each week that they need to be able to achieve. We look forward to the Students sharing what they have learned in Week 8.

How fast has this term disappeared?

This final week of the term sees the culmination of many hours of work and  enthusiasm that each of the students have done. The projects have been as unique and creative as each of the students who created them. The students have showcased very well and should be proud of the effort that has gone into them. We hope that you enjoy looking at each of their work and making a comment to encourage them.

Genius Hour Kidmeet

Our Genius Hour projects are drawing to a close for this term. Each student in Stage 3 has shown a lot of initiative and interest in their projects. We would like to show everyone what we have learned. In Week 10 we are holding a Kidmeet@MACC to showcase our Genius Hour presentations. We are inviting all parents, Grandparents, aunts and Uncles to come and watch. Each student should have the following note, but if they don't please feel free to come along and find out what we have been doing!
