We are well underway with out first IPs of the year. Interest projects, also referred to with students as ‘IPs’, are independent or collaborative group projects that arise out of the structured class inquiries focussed around our core school themes. Interest projects are designed to be student-driven and teacher-guided.
An interest project requires students to have a plan, keep others updated with our progress, and finally to share our learning to give and receive feedback from our peers.
The focus for this term is an All About Me project that each of us are working on. Mr K and Mrs Harris shared their finished projects with us several weeks ago, and since then we have been using IP workshop times to create our own. Some parts of the project have been really interesting to think about, like the meanings of our names or where our families come from. Here is what we are including...
IP workshop times have been a great chance for us to develop our self management skills, including being able to organise our own materials and setting up spaces for learning.
We will give another update when we are closer to sharing time, including some of our personal reflections.
