Genius Hour

Term 2's Genius Hour has been completed!

After presenting their projects, Room 1 reflected about their learning during Genius Hour.
Here are some of the comments:

• Genius Hour taught me about teamwork
• I had lots of challenges which made me frustrated but I showed resilience to get my work done
• I learnt how to manage myself which is one of the key competencies
• I learnt lots of things from the person I was working with
• I learnt how to use a website called Vibby which I will use again
• I can't wait to do Genius Hour again, I will do things differently next time, like something that impacts on more people

Here are Room 1's Genius Hour presentations.
