Know where to find the information and how to use it --- that's the secret of success.

This week, our Grades 5/6 class was filled with engaging activities as the students continued their inquiry on media and its influence on our thoughts and decisions. Coming back from the autumn break, the children were eager to share their experiences, and what better way to do it than through creativity and collaboration?
Creating Vacation Posters
Our first activity had the students creating posters about their autumn break adventures. The goal was to entice their classmates to consider trying these activities the next time they go on vacation. The children used powerful images and compelling words to showcase what made their experiences special. After presenting their posters, the students voted on their favorite activities they would like to try in the future. This exercise not only fostered creativity but also encouraged critical thinking about how visuals and language can influence decision-making.

The students participated in the discussion, asking questions and sharing their thoughts on marketing strategies.

The Spy Game: Observation and Product Creation
The students participated in a fun and educational spy game. Each child selected a classmate as their target audience and spent the day observing them to gather information. This activity encouraged the students to think critically about the preferences and behaviors of others. After gathering their observations, they were tasked with creating a product designed specifically for that classmate based on their insights.

Expanding the Project: Class Observations
Taking the concept of understanding a target audience to a larger scale, the students were paired up and assigned a specific class to observe. They gathered information through both observation and interviews, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of their schoolmates’ interests and needs. This project not only developed their observational skills but also enhanced their ability to communicate and collaborate with peers.

Halloween Celebration
To wrap up the week, we celebrated Halloween in style! The students donned their creative costumes and enjoyed trick-or-treating around the school. It was a delightful way to foster community spirit and have fun together as a class, bringing the week to a festive close.
