Inquiry: Nature & Change

Welcome back to Term 2! Sia returned on Monday after her long-service leave and we are looking forward to having her back in the neighbourhood.

This term, the grade one neighbourhood will be investigating "Change". Our big questions are:

What is change?

What things change?

How do things change?

What are the different kinds of change in the world around us? 

Last week, students participated in the first of three workshops that will be continued this week, as part of their "Tuning In" to the unit, before they select a Play/Inquiry focus for the remainder of the term. The three workshops are focusing in on changes in Communications and Technology, Life Cycles and Natural/Earth Sciences (day & night, seasonal shifts in the climate through the calendar year, etc.)

To extend students' learning experiences, please contact your child/ren's homeroom teacher if you are able to run a session with students. We will also be discussing excursions options that best link to the inquiry in the next few weeks.
