Intro to "Why Am I?" Inquiry

In the first term we asked "Ko Wai Au? Who Am I?", and this term we will build on the knowledge as we begin to explore the different aspects that make us the way we are. Our next focus statement: "Why Am I?" encompasses everything from body systems, to emotional well-being, to physical health and much more. Today, the students started to develop some "I wonder why..." questions as they took part in different experiences, curated by the teachers.

Some experiences included seeing the brains and hearts of sheep, experiencing virtual reality, testing the limits of our body, and thinking about how colours and art can affect how we feel.

Today was the exciting day that we officially got to play each others games! There are a wide variety of game themes ranging from shopping, to world travel, to murder mystery, to the Olympics! 

The teachers of Team Awesome are so impressed by the dedication and quality of work put in throughout this term and we are excited to share the games with people outside of our team. 

FINAL GAME DEVELOPMENT WEEK!

This week we are working extremely hard to create the final copies of our games ready to be played on Friday. We have been working hard in our groups to put all our research and learning from throughout this term into action. We have been solving any problems that come our way and creating some very exciting looking games. We're even creating our own boxes!
