My Message To The World

This week in Inquiry and Wellbeing, the 3/4s have been further investigating gender stereotyping, advertising, and society's expectations and messages based on gender. Students have been playing media and advertising detectives, and in Art this week, began brainstorming and drafting their 'Message to the World'. These messages will eventually be screen printed by students, on to their very own t-shirts to wear and keep! Students were so creative, passionate and raw when it came to the powerful messages to share with the world! 

 

As a part of their inquiry and wellbeing unit, the 3/4s explored gender themes in literature, advertising and media. After sharing their own observations and experiences, the children spent time watching advertisements and children’s television programs to analyse the themes and messages being portrayed.
