Learning Exhibition
Join us on Saturday, 24th Feb 2018
Every year we hold our Learning Exhibition with the objective of modelling our students' knowledge, skills and learning in an open forum. This is done in a public setting to challenge our students to an ever higher set of expectations. Students present their learning achievements in a variety of forms that allow them to express their creativity both in teams and individually.
The exhibits could take many forms such as:
Posters
Powerpoint Presentations
Models
Shoebox dioramas
Reports
Flow charts or diagrams
Interviews with experts
Scrapbooks
3-panel display boards
Timeline
Board games
Poems
Instructional videos
Presentations
Interactive notebooks
Pamphlets or brochures
Writing and performing a skit
TV or radio commercials
Word searches
Crossword puzzles
Newspaper articles
Puppet shows
Debates
Mock court cases
Game shows
Panel discussions of “experts”
Venn diagrams
Newsletters
Handbooks or instruction books
Short documentary films
Flashcards or trivia cards
Newscasts
We use project-based learning as it is filled with active and engaged learning, it inspires our students to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects they're studying. Research also indicates that students are more likely to retain the knowledge gained through this approach far more readily than through traditional textbook-centered learning. In addition, students develop confidence and self-direction as they move through both team-based and independent work.
In the process of completing their projects, students also hone their organizational and research skills, develop better communication with their peers and adults, and often work within their community while seeing the positive effect of their work.
This helps our students quickly see how academic work can connect to real-life issues -- and may even be inspired to pursue a career or engage in activism that relates to the project they developed.
