Real Projects
Our Chapel Break Curiosity Curriculum is based on the principles of 'Real Projects'
REAL stands for Rigorous, Engaging, Authentic Learning. The principles are:
- Significant academic content taken from the primary domain (e.g. science) with natural and relevant links made to other curriculum areas exploited to enrich and deepen learning
- Fully integrated English (reading, writing, speaking and listening)
- Planned opportunities to explore the philosophical themes emerging from the content
- A commitment to multiple drafting and critique
- Student-crafted final outcomes that reflect authentic ‘thinking and doing’ (e.g. working as scientists)
- Rich first hand experiences to deepen engagement, understanding and enjoyment
- Innovative planning and authentic assessment developed with expert partners
- A termly public exhibition, showcase or performance where every child is represented
- Authentic audiences
