Year 6 Global Project: Update

The Flat Connections ‘A Week in the Life’ Project has provided some great opportunities so far. The ‘Handshake’ phase has enabled students to introduce themselves and connect with students from Nepal, Thailand, the United States, Bulgaria and New Zealand. Skyping with the students from The American Pacific International School has been a highlight so far. Students were able to pose questions of each other and were very interested in the evident differences and similarities. Meals, school times, environmental conditions and school year were some of the topics of conversation.

Students have also enjoyed viewing the photos and videos shared on the Wiki by each of the schools.

Students have recently been introduced to their small team topics, and have begun to develop an understanding of who they will be working with and what they individually and collectively know about their topic already. Posing questions which will guide their inquiry has also been a focus.
