Identity

This autumn term, Gefen and Rimon class will embark on an exciting project all about identity and aspirations, guided by the big question: ʻWhat message would I send to the person I want to become?ʼ Over the two half terms, the children will explore who they are now, what they want to achieve this year, what they can learn from the people they admire and what jobs they might like to do in the future. As part of the project, the children will create their own ʻBook of Meʼ, with each section focusing on a different part of their lives, such as their family, their interests, their hobbies and where they go every day. They will also design a timeline of their life so far and write a letter to their future selves. An exciting highlight will be creating a time capsule video message to their future selves using iPad apps such as ChatterPix and experimenting with filming to create parts of the video. We are so excited to see their individuality, creativity, and aspirations shine throughout this autumn term

Teacher’s Reflections

“I think the project went really well! It was a great Autumn transition style project where the children could settle with each other and learn about each other. Creating the time capsule video worked really well and the exhibition of showing the videos was a great way of doing it. Maybe next time I would get the children a little bit more involved with the filming aspect.”
