Genius Hour

On Friday we had our first Genius Hour. We got to choose want we wanted to learn or do for the afternoon.
We had a class full of bakers, designers, builders, artists and more! 
Here is a picture of just a few of the creative children busy at work. 

What did everyone in Room 7 think of our first Genius Hour? What went well for you? What would you do differently next time?

      For genius hour I didn't do baking because I wasn't ready
      and because my buddy Axell keeps on forgeting to bring the
      ingredients. Next time I will bring the ingredients next friday
      I bet It's going to be yummy and delicious this time.

    I enjoyed Genuis Hour.
    If we make models out of salt dough again we should bring some more flour.

      Hi Tegan
      Yes, your salt dough got a bit sticky didn't it! Lucky there was spare flour in the staffroom!
      What could you teach others about making salt dough?

      We could teach other people by telling them to bring extra flour so there salt dough is not sticky.
