Inquiry Assignments

This week the children are completing their inquiry projects about an 'Ancient Civilisation' or 'Indigenous' group.

The children have been working hard in class and hopefully they are doing the same at home.

Here are photos of the completed projects:

Megan: Pyramid with some hidden treasures

Alice C: The Rosetta Stone

Emma: The Pyramids and Mummification

More to come...

Egyptian Inquiry: Hieroglyphs

Some children in Room 3 are doing their inquiry study on the Ancient Egyptian.

Here is a short video sharing some information about the hieroglyphs from YouTube.

 

Saints Study

The children have been working through finding information about a Saint. The children needed to find information about when they were beatified, canonised and what they are patron of.
Two questions the children found hard to answer was how did the person live their life and why do you think they were canonised a Saint?

Some of the Saints have a lot of information about their lives while others the children chose had little. Some Saints were canonised due to being made a martyr, while others lived a long life of good deeds for others.

The children will continue to work through these questions developing their answers. Some of their work is on display in the classroom.

Inquiry: Ancient Civilisations

Dear Parents,

The children created an Action Plan this week for their Inquiry Investigation and have taken this home for you to sign.
I have encouraged the children to present their work in a variety of ways to promote their learning. Some of the children are thinking about PowerPoint, booklets, posters and 3D models.
Inquiry is about the children discovering their learning. Some children think that their is only one answer however as they research their may be many answers and their questions may change.

Here are some examples of children's projects from the web:

Luke's Egyptian Project

This is Luke's work he completed while he was resting at home. He did a fantastic job so wanted to showcase his work.
I apologise for the scanning as it is out of order.
Great independent working.
