Immersion Term 2

Team 5 students are studying ‘Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger’. Based on this topic we are doing immersion classes with each of the teachers in our team. The ones we have done so far is Imagination, Creativity and Practicality. Imagination was in Rm 21, creativity in Rm 22 and practicality in Rm 18.

Imagination is thinking about what things you want to think about and stuff you don’t want to think about. This is mostly about thinking. Creativity is mostly about creating and focusing on different things like art and using your imagination. Practicality is mostly talking about whats practical and what was not.

My favourite topic immersion so far is creativity. Going on-line and searching for fonts or images of the alphabet to re-write our names. Miss.T said who ever gets the best entry wins a balloon sling shot and the chance to water their classmates and even their teachers. The first 3 winners would win this awesome prize and even get an opportunity to do these things.

My favourite part was creating my name in a fancy way. Grabbing images off the Internet Room 21 had to put the letter of the alphabet and make their name out of the letters they searched. I wonder “who’s going to win?”. I hope it’s someone from Room 21.

Later in the week our third immersion was practicality in Mr Barks class, Room18. We learnt what was practical and impractical. Learning about these things is very helpful. Mr Barks was talking about a leaf blower that had no pipe. He asked if it was practical and impractical. Practicality means the aspects of a situation that involve the actual doing or experience of something rather than theories or ideas. Practicality uses responsibility and imagination.

Innovation is a new method an idea or a product. In Mr Harris class,we learnt about historic things and new things. Talking about these things were boring that we searched up these things on the inter-net. Before we did that we had to create a presentation in Google-doc. Making our presentation collecting historic things and new things.
