Look Inside ... Year 3 and Year 4
Our Minecraft Self-portraits
Minecraft is recognised as the best-selling video game in history with 126 million players per month. It has sold 200 million copies worldwide. In Australia, it is the most popular game among boys and girls aged 7-14. Stage 2 teachers understand that children learn best when they are interested and engaged. We used the students’ passion for Minecraft as the basis to complete self-portraits and the results are not only meaningful and relevant, but also very creative.
