CBL in 5/6


This term the 5/6 classes at Aitken Creek PS are doing CBL.

If you do not know what CBL is have a look at these sites-

CBL at Wonga Park PS

Challenge Based Learning

Challenge Based Learning in our class (Cheuk, ACPS) 

In Term 1 our Big Idea is DEMOCRACY.

The essential question is 'How does democracy have an impact on the way we live?'.

Our challenge is to 'Respond to an issue the you want changed'.

Over the past couple of days we have discussed the importance of asking 'good' questions to guide us in our research.

Here is a video about thick and thin questions that helped us to understand why we need to  ask good research questions.


Take a look at the guiding questions we came up with. We cant wait to start our research and find out more! 



What are you looking forward to most about CBL this term?

  2. Hi Miss Spink,

    This term in CBL I am looking forward to learning more about democracy and the history of Australian government. I think it is going to be a challenge and I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to working with new people in a group and working all together to find out new and interesting information about Australian government and democracy.

    Thanks Miss Spink,
