St Raphael's School
PBL
This term in PBL our driving question was 'How can we make a difference to the environment by making use of the waste we throw away?'
Students worked in groups to create an information fact sheet on their chosen area of waste (paper, plastic or food). They then contacted an expert or company about what they are doing to address the issue. To conclude the unit, students designed a product, invention or machine that will use or re-use the waste they have been studying.
Poetry
The students have been focusing on poetry recently and will continue on in the first few weeks of Term 3. They have been exploring the common elements found in poetry and experimenting with different types of poetry. Here are some of their work samples:
