Everyone is a GENIUS!
In
Stage 3 this term we have launched the Genius Hour program. Genius Hour is
simply giving students the opportunity to learn for the sake of learning. In
short, each student has posed a question which they will spend one hour each week
for the next 6 weeks answering. Each student provided me with a proposal which
included specific learning intentions or goals. Everyone will have something to
present by Week 10 to show what they have learnt. For example, Hayley will
create a model of the human heart, Brock would like to make solar panels that
will warm water and Chaye is designing a curved skate board ramp. We have
students who are building instruments, models, sport equipment and dioramas.
Others are making perfume, origami, lego or model car engines. Some are baking
or setting up their own blogs.
