Since our last blog our journey has not progressed as well i had hoped at the beginning of the term. Although the class have been working on our topic, i am unsure if it is a purely inquiry process. Many of the children have been chosing their own areas to research into such as the different types of earthquakes and volcanoes through a powerpoint presentation. As part of our written language we have been aiming to write an explanation around a natural disaster and a cause and effect relationship. The class have been able to choose the medium to present their explanation and choose what they wanted to explain i feel at times we are doing more of a thematic approach rather than an inquiry process... not sure will have to do more thinking and reflective discussion with the staff around this.

Room 1 Inquiry

Room 1's inquiry journey has become a little slow towards the end of the term. Other events around the school have taken over the time allocated for inquiry learning. We hope to show our learning thorugh maps and posters over the next week. This will show our discussions about safe areas in our homes and school which we could use in the event of an earthquake. Discussions have been interesting - using the correct language was cool and trying to get our mouths around some of the words was fun!
Hope to have some updates on final outcomes and maybe even some pics??!!
