Both 5/6 classes at ACPS have been working really hard to present their findings for their CBL research. The quality of work that has been produced is fantastic. Students have enjoyed researching their own questions and constructing new knowledge from their findings. The challenge solutions that have been carried out are of a very high standard! Both Mrs Cotter and myself are very proud of what all students have achieved.

Hi my name is Dareen,
ReplyDeleteMy solution is to have a worm farm running in our school again. This is important to me and the community because it will help make highlands known as a green land and make our school look cleaner and more beautiful. In my research a big surprise when we found our solution becomes successful. My team and I tried to research different we types of companies that can educate use but that seemed to fail. We have started to our solution by messaging Katy Nuthall to come and visit our school and educate us. As a team we have faced was trying to figure out how many compost bins we will need and how many classes do we have in the whole school. I have learnt to always be confident and never be shy of what I say and act. I didn’t know how hard it was to organize plans.
