Digital Solutions Across Junior And Secondary School
Digital Solutions Across Junior And Secondary School
What an amazing day watching active engagement between students and their work - but more importantly, seeing how the older Year 10 students engaged with the younger Year 5 students.
Year 10 Digital Solutions students had to re-invent or innovate a current or new board game by incorporating an Arduino unit.
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.
Arduino boards are able to read inputs - such as light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - like activating a motor, turning on an LED, or publishing something online.
Currently the Year 5 students are learning about circuits and how the Arduino can collect and display information.
This is a perfect example of how their learning evolves and stays relevant starting in Junior School and then into Secondary School.
The Year 10 students did an amazing job explaining the rules of their game, how they created it and then asking for feedback from the Year 5 students - who were the consumers or target audience.
These electronically upgraded games included Monopoly Junior, Snakes And Ladders, a Pinball Machine, LEGO and other mind-puzzle and sensory entertainment.
The genuine teaching and learning and sharing interactions have been amazing to watch in the classroom.
Thank you to all our Year 10 and Year 5 students for their fantastic engagement and dedication to their projects.
We cannot wait to see how we will collaborate again in the future...
Stay Nerdy With Technology!

Year 5 RAVE Term 4: Christmas Compared
Year 5 RAVE Term 4: Christmas Compared
For RAVE: Religion And Values Education this term, Year 5 have been studying a unit called Christmas Compared.
Students have been researching how other countries around the world celebrate Christmas.
We have looked at their Christmas traditions, foods and activities, and then compared these with our Australian yule-tide traditions.
For the past few Fridays, the three classes have joined together to create traditional Christmas activities from the places we have studied, including: Mexican Pinatas, German Gingerbread Houses, and Filipino Parols (stained glass stars).
It has certainly been a lot of fun!
