Well it has certainly been a busy time over the last 3 weeks with establishing all our new routines and getting to know and connect with all the new members of Grade 5S. With some of the start of the year assessment behind us, the last week has been a time to start finding out more about immigration which is the topic for our first unit of inquiry.
Our Central Idea is: Throughout history human migration has impacted our world.
we are using 3 lines of inquiry to investigate this and they are,
1. The reasons why people immigrate.
2. The struggles and successes of immigrants.
3. The impact of immigration on people, communities and the immigrants.
Being an international school we all have our own personal stories and experiences of moving and living in different countries. I am looking forward to hearing and reading some of my students stories and will share them with you.
This week we looked at immigration in the USA and took particular care to study this in relation to our lines of inquiry.
I have shared a few of the keynote presentations (sorry I tried to share them but they won't upload. I will have to get some clever person to help me) but if you want to see your child's please go onto their e-portfolio.
p.s. it was great to see so many of you at Open Night on Thursday evening. Mike
