Its coming - "The Kerrimuir World Cup"

2007-08-06T15:48:00.000+10:00

The excitement level has been rising with news that the
Long awaited, much anticipated 'Kerrimuir World Cup' is to begin this week. As a lead up activity in ICT many students put their creative energy behind designing and creating an Advertisement for the event. These were a great success and several students posters were displayed around the school. Below is a small selection of ads on offer.

Great use of colour!

Clever Design using overlapping images

Great layout - very friendly to the eye!

Group Work: - "Landmark Project"

2007-06-15T15:23:00.000+10:00

The grade 5/6's are busy working on and presenting their Landmark projects at the moment. Working in groups of two or three students were asked to research a landmark of their choice. Then research the city, country and continent that their landmark is in.
As a conclusion to the students research, each group presented the information to the class via PowerPoint.

Above: Researching the Parthenon.

Here are some of the boys hard at work, which was very pleasing to see.

Presenting brought out different strenghts and weaknesses in everyone.
