The First Ever KidMeet: A Success?
What happens when 6 genius classes from 3 creative schools, meet and present to each other? Does it create a fantastic day of learning where students learn from each other?
On the 13th of October 3/4B and 5/6U went to Mount Prichard East Public School. Glenwood Public School arrived shortly after us. We then went to the hall there we were given note taking paper, a pen and a label with our name and school on it. Everything had the #KidMeetSWS logo on it which was decided through a competition which I won. First we played a bingo-type game where we had to ask people questions like ‘are you in year 3?'. We were not allowed to ask students from our own school questions or ask the same student twice.
Next we did the presentations. We had one presentation from each school running at a time which was referred to as a session. We had 4 sessions before lunch. Some of the topics were: how to make your own computer game, how to speak French, lightning strikes, Antarctica and the solar system.
For lunch we had a delicious sausage sizzle and we were allowed to play in the big field but about 5 minutes to the end it started raining so we sat under the shelter and talked.
After lunch we had an activity where we had to build a structure strong enough to hold a packet of paper in groups of six (2 from each school). We then had 2 more sessions. At the end schools exchanged gifts to say thank you.
Was #kidmeetSWS a success? To me it was a great success.
