We are full swing in our Unit of Inquiry sessions. This term the Year 7's are working with Miss Butter and Mr Jones, while the Year 6's work with Mr Semmler.
The Year 7's are looking at human interaction in the world and it's influence.
The Central Idea is: Scientific advancements influence change.
The Lines of Inquiry are:
- Ways classification organises diversity
- Impact of human activity on organisms
- Understanding leads to change.
The Year 6's are looking at disasters and the influence they have in the lives of people.
The Central Idea is: The ability to survive is challenged by disasters.
The Lines of Inquiry are:
- Extreme events create disasters
- Disasters impact communities
- Preparation and response to disasters continues to evolve.
These topics have lead to some great discussion and sharing of information. As we move towards our final pieces of work on the topics we look forward to finding out more about these areas.
