Fabulous Fudge Fantasia

Today we enjoyed tasting delicious fudge. The purpose of the day was to learn to establish and apply criteria in order to judge something. Next week we will be applying this learning when selecting the best solution to develop into an action plan for our Global Problem Solving Booklet. Today Noah's fudge was selected as the winner!

Thanks to all the children for their enthusiasm although it is easy to get excited about fudge!

Here are some of the recipes.

First FPS Session Today

Today we had our first FPS session and the group worked very well. The treatment and rights of animals is certainly an interesting topic and the group enjoyed the start of their research.

Remember to follow the links on the FPS Research if you have time.

If you find other sites that others would find interesting you can email me, claire.howison@stalbans.school.nz and I will add them.

Here is our work on linking our thinking to some of the FPS Categories.

FPS - Looking to the future

In preparation for our lockdown next week take time to read on some sites about the future.

Here are some interesting links to explore:

Planning for the FPS Lockdown

Today we talked about the timing needed to complete the FPS in the lockdown time limit of 2hours. See if you can remember this for the day, it will help.

FPS Research

Today we started our research into living in a surveillance society. We looked at many of the links on the FPS Research page and made out own notes as well as contributing to the notes on the board.



























There was an interesting article in the newspaper about Swannanoa School investigating the use of bracelets to award point to children who were behaving in the playground. You might like to read about it here.

Here is the response of the Minister of Education, Hekia Parata.
