Boost 2 - Term 2 Week 1

Today I posed a problem to the boys.  A lot of people don't realise that there is a school here, as it is not as visible from the road as a lot of other schools.  We need to make some type of signage to make sure that people know that we are here.

First we looked at our present sign, and the boys immediately noticed that it wasn't very noticeable.  The gardens are growing up in front of it, the sign is difficult to see.


We took photos of the front of the school and the boys used one of these photos to plan where they would put a sign or two, and we estimated how big the signs would have to be.  We then went out to check our measurements to see if they were a good estimate.  We discovered that some of the measurements were just too big, so we had to change our plan.

 

The boys have been asked to come up with a new design for their ideal sign and we will share these next Boost session.  We will use these designs to come up with a proposal each for Mr Forde to look over.
