Final Project

Hi Everyone,

The past term has been quickly and we are nearly at the end of our Unit of Inquiry. As most of you at approaching the 'Synthesis' stage of Blooms Taxonomy it is time to think about how you want to present your final project.

There are lots of different ways to showcase your creative talents in your area of research. Several of you have suggested producing a short video on your topic, while others have suggested creating an original product/plan/recipe. We have decided to exhibit your projects on Monday June 13th and I look forward to celebrating your achievements with you.


Please follow the Blooms guide below as you plan your project and feel welcome to come and see me if you wish to discuss your presentation.
