Year 8 English | End Of Year Critical & Creative Thinking ‘Escape Room’ Classroom Activity
Year 8 English | End Of Year Critical & Creative Thinking ‘Escape Room’ Classroom Activity
In Year 8 English, some of our students recently tackled an engaging team-building ‘Escape Room’ activity.
This immersive experience involved working through a series of critical thinking English-based challenges, where students collaborated in small groups, solved puzzles and unlocked codes to progress through each station.
There were Task Cards outlining instructions around decoders, mazes, logic puzzles and picture puzzles, with an overarching Code Breaker Tracking Sheet.
This interactive approach encouraged critical thinking, effective communication and problem-solving, while allowing students to enjoy a special learning experience.
The race to ‘escape’ brought out plenty of excitement, energy and teamwork – skills they will carry into their studies and beyond…

What is SPARK?
SPARK is an elective-based ‘hands-on’ curriculum for Years 5 and 6 students that is unique to Canterbury.
Each semester our students choose a special subject to study.
Then students from both year levels are combined into the same classroom and taught by relevant staff.
SPARK is about building curiosity, encouraging students to try something new, and providing an exceptional opportunity for them to embark on their own learning journey, as part of their ‘World Ready’ Canterbury education.
When does SPARK occur?
SPARK happens once per week, with students encouraged to continue their learning beyond the classroom.
How does SPARK link to the curriculum?
SPARK focuses on the Australian Curriculum’s general capabilities, looking at critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding.
How can I see my child’s learning?
The Junior School hosts a learning exhibition at the end of each semester, where all students will have something to exhibit based on their SPARK sessions.
