Innovation

This term, across the Year 1 to Year 6 Communities, our Big Idea is Innovation. Through the concept of Play, each community is using the design process to develop ideas such as games for wet day programs, designing games for others and inclusive game design for all people.

The Year 3 and 4 Community is involved in the unit ‘We are game makers…but how can we make an engaging game?’ They are learning to understand how to plan, create, test and improve their game designs. Across the unit, they have investigated and evaluated different games such as board games and games they play outside. The students needed to collect data from their community by creating surveys in Google Forms to find out what types of games they liked and to narrow down their ideas to suit the community.

By following the design process all the students have been working in groups to design, create and test their games. They have created game instructions so that the players know how to play. 

The students are now putting the finishing touches on their games and presentations for the Learning Expo. We can't wait to experience them at the Learning Expo!
