Genius Hour Presentations  - Part 1

7/21/2014

1 Comment

 
Apologies for a lack of updates, life has been very busy but the children have continued to do their Genius Hour projects. One of my colleagues took a session for me as I was working in another class, she said that she was worried about how with 34 Year 2 children Genius Hour would work, but she loved it. She was amazed at how on task each child was, keen to share their projects and immersed in their learning. This was music to my ears as Genius Hour will be part of the curriculum throughout the school next year.

So here we are, the last week and the presentations of Genius Hour projects, some have been finished but others are going home as a summer project.

Dolcie Dance Studio

Dolcie started off with a drawn plan of her dance studio and it evolved into a fully working made with junk dance studio. Dolcie showed great attention to detail even including coat hangers for visitors.

Leo: Mario Animation

Leo has ADHD and is on the autistic spectrum, he loves Mario at the moment and will talk for hours about the different games, consoles they were for and the year released. Leo made the characters at home with his sister using Hama beads. Leo brought them in to school to create several animations, this is just one of them.

Steven: Batman Blog

Steven started with a simple design on a3 paper, but when he got on to the computer his imagination and knowledge ran riot. During his presentation he talked about the new Batmobile and a sinister new villain for the new Batman movie.

Emma - Song Book.

Emma's beautifully decorated text book contains songs that she has written herself. Emma has the titles in the contents and has written three songs so far. Unfortunately for poor Emma I chose to sing one to the class.

Kieron: Web Shooters

Kieron was determined to perfect his webshooters, he made several prototypes and during this it is demonstrated them during this presentation. Kieron would ask most days if "is it Genius Hour today".

Jimmy: Superhero Costume.

Jimmy had one of the more adventurous ideas, he wanted to create a superhero costume. He designed it on paper first, then used an old t-shirt to make the logo. Jimmy's costume was finished off with a black cloak, great eh.

Chloe: Dresses for Elsa

I am sure we have a future fashion designer in Chloe. She designed her dresses on a3 paper to start then made larger version which could be worn by a paper Elsa. I love the attention to detail Chloe has put into each dress, they fit Elsa perfectly.

Part 2 to Follow.
