Despite the inevitable Saturday brownie camps and football games, many parents and their children showed up – eager to see what their children had been up to. A third time line, of baked goodies was laid out in the hall; pancake planets, super nova shortbread, big bang beetroot brownies. Parents were given a passport which guided them along the rope to different corners of the school grounds, where each of the classes shared the activities from the week. Year five and six also treated us to a dramatic performance of the big bang and the creation of stars and planets.
A hearting closure to the week was speaking with parents. They shared what the project meant to them:
I think it’s amazing what you’ve achieved in just a few days. When we picked up our kids on the first day they were so enthusiastic. When he got home my son spent an hour and a half researching the Big Bang and then brought it into school to share, which is unbelievable for him. The free writing doesn’t inhibit them it means they can just go. Reading all the poems with the science in them and the imagination it’s just so impressive – Parent and Secondary School Science Teacher
“The quality of the writing is fantastic, it’s very moving. The sense of the silence before it all started comes across in the writing. “ – Parent
I think what is truly inspirational is the concept behind the project, the idea of giving children a shared history and past and providing them with that sense of unity through this narrative of the universe is so clever. This is what education is about, this is what I want my children to learn, to be respectful, responsible citizens within a community - Parent
