Our Place, Our Space

This term our inquiry learning focus has been on 'Our Place, Our Space'.  The students have learnt about the importance of looking after spaces and each other within our immediate surroundings, at home and the wider community.  Alongside this staff have been implementing a different approach to inquiry that places the students at the heart of the assessment process to ensure our inquiry provides adequate challenge and rigour.  We want our students to really improve their understanding of the world around them in a deep and meaningful way.

Here is a picture of Room 2 students 'taking action'.  It has been their goal to improve and clean up some of the playground items within their own play area.  It has been fantastic observing and being part of some of the wonderful initiatives around the school this term at all levels.

Next term we are going to explore 'Culture' and hopefully make some new friends in Swannanoa, North Carolina, USA.
