For our first rotation, we stayed in our own classes. The word in our class was Imagination. On each table was a big paper with questions that a few people had to go around to each of them, one group at a time. One of the questions was ‘Imagine if you had special powers, what would they be?’ This activity was a lot of fun because it made us think outside the box and invent new things in our head using our imagination.
The second rotation was on Monday in Ms Tito’s class. With her we learnt about creativity. We had to create our names individually using different fonts than other people. Each letter of our name had to have a different design. If we copied someone else, we would be disqualified from the competition. There were many out standing creations that entered.
Our third rotation was in Mr Bark’s class. Practicality was what he was teaching us about. He gave us a demonstration with some hedge clippers and he had a little story to tell us as well. His story was about his neighbour and how his neighbour would trim the weeds on his footpath with scissors instead of using hedge clippers. Then he’d ask us if it ( the story ) was practical or impractical. It was impractical.
For our last rotation we went to Mrs Nua who taught us about Discovery. Included in our lesson of discovery was an egg, straws, rubber bands, popsicle sticks and tape. With these things she gave us a challenge. The challenge was to make a protective basket sort of thing around the egg, so that when we drop it on some newspaper it won’t crack! Tragically my groups egg cracked!
Throughout our immersion rotation I learnt a lot of useful information and I also had loads of fun. My favourite rotation was Discovery in Mrs Nua’s class because the activity was to create something to protect an egg.
