Year 8: Big Ideas Expo

This term, in Big Ideas, Year Eight students were posed with the question: East versus West; Where is best? This was a very broad question, as students were given the choice of focusing on a topic of their choice for the term. They could choose from animals, food, sport, technology, music, the arts and celebrations. 

Students have been guided through an inquiry process. At first, they were assisted through a six-step process of creating their own focus question. They also completed a masterclass in high quality research using Google. Students were then given a master class in note making and referencing; skills which are important in any subject. 

Students have spent several weeks investigating their own question, at a range of scales. This week in Big Ideas, students will be creating a display to share their findings. This will need to be completed at home, ready for display at the year 8 Big Ideas expo in week 9. Parents and Guardians are invited to explore the expo and share in their sons and daughters learning. 

The expo will be held in the Victoria Square Da Vinci space, from 10am to 12pm on Thursday 22^nd June. We look forward to seeing you there.
