We are now using QR codes during the Adventure Challenge unit in Pre 5. I was amazed about how fast my students have learned and how relaxed they are when using technology. I have planned two sessions to practice scanning and they have done it in 10 minutes! We are now getting with one step closer to the summative assessment, when they will have to scan QR codes and overcome a challenge, by teams.

In the PE stand alone unit we are learning how to overcome challenges through communication, trust and an open mind. We have played Clean The Mess game. Students are grouped by teams and each teams is assigned a different task. Team mates decide through a group discussion their roles and responsibilities during the challenge. We end up the challenge with a group reflection with each team identifying the challenges they were facing and  transdisciplinary skills being used.

Currently, in the PE stand alone unit of inquiry, we are learning how basic movement skills enable us to enjoy responsible a variety of activities. We have played the Stepping Stones game. The students had to cross over an imaginary river by stepping on imaginary stones (hula hoops). They did this individually, by pairs and we finally made it successfully with the entire class.
