Today Mrs Allen asked us a question.... "If you could learn about ANYTHING at all at school, what would it be?"
We had to think of our PASSIONS.
What is it that we are interested in?
What gets us excited?
What do we love, but don't know too much about?
We brainstormed our ideas on Answer Garden. The ideas that are written larger than others are the popular ones that other learners in our class are also passionate about.Look at all of the exciting things that we are passionate about!
Stay tuned for our next step...
Hi M5! Mrs Allen tells me that you are all working so hard to become independent learners by jumping into the pit and challenging yourselves every day.....thats so awesome to hear! I always visit your blog to see what you're doing in class and Im really excited about the answer garden you created yesterday. The ideas you came up with sound so exciting and fun. If you do go ahead and create a movie or a new book or a new sport you will have to think carefully about what you already know and then build new knowledge so you are able to create what you want. There will be lots of learning to do before you go ahead and make something! We do something similar at Stonefields School called Breakthrough. Last term some of my learners created a new dance and then filmed it. Other learners made new board games and another group were really passionate about face painting so worked hard to learn new techniques. They will be painting faces at our school fair on Saturday....how cool is that! I cant wait to follow your learning journey by looking at your blog each week and if you want something fun to do on Saturday, come down to the Stonefields School Fair. There will be lots of things for sale and rides to go on......and I'll be there in the morning so pop down and say 'Hi!'

Hi Miss Hooper,
DeleteThank you so much for looking at our blog and leaving us an awesome comment. Thanks for giving us some ideas about our Passion Project. We are really excited about doing this kind of learning. If we have any questions, perhaps we could ask you or some of your learners for some advice.
We will definitely try to get to Stonefields School Fair this Saturday.
M5 :)
So nice to hear from you M5. I hope I get to see some of your beautiful smiling faces at the Fair. Here is a link to our Breakthrough Page if you wanted to check out some of the learning we have done for Breakthrough throughout the year. You can even click on the links to see how they Built Knowledge before they did the 'making'. https://sites.google.com/a/stonefields.school.nz/lh1-2_2015/breakthrough
