Specialist Technology: Gifted and Talented; Make the hall a space we are proud of- Part 1

We have begun our Gifted and Talented Specialist Technology learning this week.

We have a big job... fix the hall..make it a space we can be proud of..

 we have some nice things in our hall.. but not enough of them..

first we have to visit the hall and check it our.. are the curtains ok?

lots of staples, bits of paper, screens that are not used....do we keep them or take them down?

student work..does it stay or go?

wires going from one side of the room to another...do we leave them?

we wrote down our findings and went back to class..

Staples- take the staples out

Signage- get permission to take the signs off

           - take off the least important ones

Displays-get permission to take off the displays

           - take off the old displays

           -create new displays

Broken windows fixings-get permission to fix them

Display boards-decorate -take them off

                     -covering -ask others for inspiration

                -create removable ones

 we wrote down the issues  and then worked in groups to come up with possible solutions

we did this on google docs so we could share our findings with everyone

we worked out who the stakeholders for the hall were

we have to consider all the needs of these people and what they would want from the space

then we wrote emails to Mr Naidoo inviting him to meet with us.. we had to learn how to write a formal email

Dear Mr Naidoo, Principal of Robertson Road School

Room 30 would like to ask you if you could meet us at 12:00pm Friday the 4th of August at the tech room. This meeting will be about the hall.

Yours sincerely

Tau , J.T. and Azriel.

Hopefully he can meet with us and we can ask him what his priorities are

we had to work together, with people we had never worked with before and think about things that would make our hall a beautiful space and something to be proud of..

we are going to be busy!
