Challenge Based Learning - Interconnectedness

Challenged Based Learning - Semester 2

This semester, Year 6 will be exploring Geography through the Challenge Based Learning (CBLframework.  CBL is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages learners to use current technologies to solve real-world problems. Challenge Based Learning is collaborative and hands-on, asking students to work with peers, teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to ask good questions, develop deep subject area knowledge, identify and solve challenges, take action, and share their experience.  You can read more about CBL here.


Year 6 will be focusing on the Big Idea of INTERCONNECTEDNESS.

Our Essential Question is: How is Australia connected to other parts of the world?

Our Challenge is: Use our INTERCONNECTEDNESS to help others in our global community.

Together we have viewed a proposal movie, which you can view here, around the big idea of Interconnectedness to use as a springboard into our inquires.

Year 6 have been thinking hard about the big idea and have brainstormed meaningful questions using the QUESTION SORT thinking routine about Australia's connections with the world.  We look forward to a rich and rewarding final term of primary school, where Year 6 students are able to work together to enact real change for the better in our world.
