Inquiry Update – Prep TV Show!

/ Uncategorized / By

This semester, the students in the Prep neighbourhood have been exploring the big question: “How do we become an expert and how do we share our expertise?” As a part of this inquiry, they have been working towards creating a TV show where they will share their knowledge. The students have been researching their animal and developing a segment for the show related to their animal. Some students are sharing some facts they have learned, while others are sharing a story they have made. Some students are hard at work creating an animal song, while some are in the process of demonstrating an animal dance.

During this week, students have submitted and voted for the name of the show and we have gathered ideas for the theme song. We have asked Deb, our music teacher, to support us in creating a tune for this.

Here are some photos of our recent inquiry work.

These were the three show titles that had the largest votes. We had a final whole neighbourhood vote and the title PREP TV SHOW won.
