This term, stage 4 students will be focusing on the theme of power. All subjects are connected through this theme and explore the driving question, “How is Power Used?” We are currently finishing up the English module in which students studied the play, The Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty and various pieces of poetry to explore how power is used by bullies.
The students of stage 4 continue to surprise me and I have been amazed at the creative writing skills of some. Today I was even more impressed by their ability to compose poetry. Hopefully they will let me share some examples in my upcoming blogs. As long as they proof read.
Next week stage 4 will continue the study of power through the PDHPE module, although the focus will shift a little to how power is used in relationships. For their end product students must produce something that answers the driving question, “How is Power Used?” While there have been some suggestions, the final decision lies with the students and I am very excited to see what they will produce.
So far term 2 is off to a flying start for stage 4, I am looking forward to seeing what the class is capable of and the high quality of work they produce.
