This week we are exciting about the beginning of the annual Hunter OC Thinkfest competition.

 

 
This is a great competition in which we get to test out our research, design, make and drama skills. There are four groups and four problems to solve. This year the problems are:

Maths; The Ruler that would Rule

Visual: Consider the metaphors ‘if walls could talk’ and ‘just another brick in the wall’

Science: Make the most useless adventure ever and convince everyone that they can’t live without it.

 

 

English: All of the world’s a stage. All day you can ONLY sing rap or rhyme.

Each group has the challenge of designing and making a prop to use in a skit that shows knowledge and understanding of the topic. Each group also has to act out their skit in front of a backdrop that they paint and finally they have to present a visual diary showing the learning journey. 

Wow, this year sure is a challenge! We can’t wait until next term when we meet with the other OC classes in the Hunter to share our solution, see what they all come up with and see which groups with the competition.

Good luck everyone!
