Upon completion of our unit Creative and Critical Thinking this week, students took part in a fun outdoor survival challenge. The ability to think both creatively and critically is a key attribute to working in many industries and students have been demonstrating their abilities to think outside the box and create unorthodox solutions that are different and unique.
On Thursday the 14th of May, students were given 7 minutes to explore outside and gather materials they thought would be useful for survival. Prior to their race against time, students had an opportunity to meet in their groups to briefly brainstorm the kinds of materials required for survival. Back in the classroom, students shared their findings and explained their choices, practicing teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking. It was exciting to see their creativity and enthusiasm while learning through hands-on exploration.
