2T News
2T have been inquiring into how public spaces are used and how they bring communities together. We explored communities in a range of forms using maps and Google earth to get a sense of where we belong in our local, state, country and world. The boys developed their mapping skills by using grid references on maps that were familiar to them. They explored their own local community when they visited Kings Park, Claremont Quarter and Lake Claremont. The excursions to these public spaces gave the boys the opportunity to observe and experience how communities use these spaces and the effect it has on individual and group behaviour. The boys have completed their summative assessment to show their knowledge of the central idea. They followed an assessment rubric to ensure they included the appropriate information. The boys cooperated in groups to complete the presentation of their choice. Their knowledge was demonstrated in a range of ways; Popplet, 3D model, iMovie and Pic Collage. The boys have done an amazing job presenting what they know about public spaces and the responsibility they have when using these spaces.
