Welcome to the home of the P5/6 Genius Project!

This term P5/6 and Mrs Andrews have chosen their own personal projects to investigate and share with their class. Here you can find links to every pupils blog and keep up to date with our exciting progress.

The Genius Hour project comes from the 20% project developed by Apple, where founder Steve Jobs believed that workers would be more passionate about their work if they had chosen what to study. So will our pupils become more passionate and driven in their learning if they have chosen their own field of interest.

Pupils have all been asked to choose a field of study and develop a question e.g Which is better the Xbox or the PlayStation?

Pupils then have to present their field of study to the class with ‘The Pitch’ a short poster presentation outlining what they will be learning and how.

Throughout the study the class will keep a blog which shares their learning step by step, both successes and failures, as well as setting themselves targets for learning.

At the end of the project the pupils are invited to share their learning. This can be done any way the pupils see fit, by song, dance, video blog or a talk to the class.
