This term in Innovate[Ed] we were focusing on different UN goals. I chose to be in Mr Coleman’s group which worked on UN Global Goal #14 Life Below Water. We worked on some questions on butchers paper to see how we would help and make a difference to save the life below water. Then we were separated into 3 separate groups. Action, Marketing and Researching.
I joined the marketing group and we split into subgroups like flyers, poster, bracelets, website and Minecraft World. I joined the public speaking group with Aaron Ravi. We were to share different ways to save life underwater with other groups in the school. We made a plan about what we were going to say and organised made two powerpoints. The Powtoons was for the Kindys – year 2 and the different one for Years 3 – 6. Initially, we were thinking about doing the whole school but after thinking and talking about it, we decided that our efforts were best focussed on Junior School.
When we had completed our Powtoon, we helped the other groups. I helped marketing with making bracelets for those who participated in this project and also to spread awareness. They were laser cut and tied with string. The bracelets would help promote this cause in more places.
I also helped the action group with what they would do to display their rubbish and we decided on a cloud with rubbish hanging off it which is displayed in the 7W classroom. On the last week of Innovate[Ed], our group went to do a beach clean up. It was a good experience because we got to help the environment and we got to find out how much rubbish is being left around on just a little piece of land. Now, Aaron and I are preparing a speech for Ms Hill (Dean of Teaching and Learning). We are also going to speak to the classes.
