Solar Punk Island is a challenge for S2 pupils to try and build a civilization on a deserted island . Pupils are passengers on a ship that crashed into the deserted island .
During Solar Punk Island lessons , pupils get to be creative by drawing , building , planning and lots more . In Solar Punk Island pupils get to design what they want their houses to look like and they also get to vote on where they would like to live during Solar Punk Island . The challenge is based on skills such as team working and resilience .
All of our S2 students have been working towards their bronze badges in Business & Administration lessons ! So far , we have 6 students who have achieved their bronze badges – Tajveer K , Dylan S , Zoe G , Macey F , Elizabeth S and Max C .
