Inquiry: Our Systems, Our World, Ourselves
Big ideas:
- A system set of parts working together or interconnected to form a complex whole
- Organisation and classification helps us understand the world
- Our understandings influence our decisions
Moving through the Apply phase of our inquiry into Communicate has filled students with enthusiasm and pride as they saw their ideas come to life! As plants filled the garden and nesting box models proliferated in the neighbourhood, students wrote documentation and constructed displays to demonstrate their learning to our school community. Their growing maturity was showcased by taking responsibility for watering plants and ensuring their Expo artifacts were kept in good condition, as well as in their positive approach to Step Up Day. Our future year 4s and 5s excitedly embraced their potential as future leaders, showing our neighbourhoods to students coming up into 3/4 next year and connecting with their new prep buddies, respectively.
Thank you to all those who visited us at the expo and especially those who gave such positive feedback to the students.
