St John’s Dennington students Kaiya Gleeson and Jaxson Fechete were keen to take a closer look at this giant globe earlier this week. Year 4 students at the school have been delving into history as part of their ‘Into the Unknown’ studies.

As part of their recent learning unit entitled ‘Into the Unknown,’ the year 4 students researched a variety of chosen past explorers of the world who had made an impact, or changed the world, as a result of their discoveries and voyages.

The students demonstrated their learning by creating a ‘Learning Showcase’ which included the artefacts and ships of each of the explorers, posters of their information reports and devices for a kahoot game to check their visitors’ understanding.

Parents, families, friends and the wider community paid a visit to the school stadium on Wednesday to see the work on display.

Many thanks to Clinton Moloney, and Reece and Samantha Lane, for the work they did to help the students create a human-sized, rotatable globe of the earth.
