After lots of organisation we are finally getting into a grove. Workshops are now underway with students engaging in Math, Speaking and listening, Reading, and Writing workshops. We’re sinking our teeth into our central idea…
Australia is a secular, democratic nation with a dynamic, multicultural and multi-faith society. Living and working successfully together allows us to achieve greater outcomes.
During Dialogic Pedagogy (speaking and listening) workshops we’ve been engaging in a panel show called HOT DESK where we have debates and discussions about different things such as ‘Children aren’t smart enough to make important decisions’ . We’re uploading them and sharing them on the student blog, so stay tuned to that space. These points of discussion have fuelled an interest in persuasive writing that have been explored during Writing workshops.
In Maths, we’ve been looking at chance and probability along with developing metacognition about strategies used during math games and started to explore ways that the government use data about citizens to make informed decisions.
