Measuring, Recording & Exploring
Measuring, Recording & Exploring
ď‚— Using the specialised language, approaches,
techniques and tools of each of our subjects to measure, record and explore some of the distinctive, special (and perhaps less obvious) characteristics of our school on that particular day.
Measuring, Recording & Exploring Creative thinking = finding problems as well as solving
them. Open ended project could be set as homework across all subjects for that week. Students are expected to devise an ‘experiment’ or vehicle for creative observation that records something on that day. Each department chooses a project coordinator and submits 3 or 4 inspirational ideas or possible starting points per Key Stage GM will compile and share all submissions to students within online resource (so include hyperlinks)
Measuring, Recording & Exploring The sampled ‘data’, poems, drawings, measurements and
readings that are generated become a digital time capsule Our successors and future students can look back on 28/11/14 with amazement and amusement.
