Welcome Back to the beginning of Term 4. I am sure I don't need to remind everyone, how quickly time is flying. 

Creativity

This term the whole school focus is on ‘Creativity’. Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed. The created item may be intangible (such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical instrument, or a joke) or a physical object (such as an invention, a literary work, or a painting).

Scholarly interest in creativity is found in a number of disciplines, primarily psychology, business studies, and cognitive studies, but also educationn, technology, engineering, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), theology,sociologyy, linguistics, and economics, covering the relations between creativity and general intelligence, personality type, mental and neural processes, mental health, or artificial intelligence; the potential for fostering creativity through education and training; the fostering of creativity for national economic benefit, and the application of creative resources to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning.

All classes will explore an aspect of creativity this term, using conceptual inquiry to develop skills and understandings that can be applied to their world.
