Wearable Arts Inquiry: Self-Reflection

All students completed a self-reflection on the Wearable Arts inquiry. 

Self-reflections are a great way to get an honest look at how engaged/interested the children are, in their learning (or particular topics). It also serves to value their ideas and opinions.

  • How happy are you with the mask you designed and made?
  • How happy are you with the cape you designed and made?

  • Did you enjoy our Wearable Arts inquiry this term?
...and complete the following:

  • If I could change one thing about this inquiry it would be... 

The students were then asked to share their reflections with several other classmates. I always enjoy eavesdropping on their conversations:)

Dancing the 'pizza dance' outside the pizza truck was a highlight for some.
