Well we have had a really good start to the second half of the year and this week we went on a field trip to the Korean War Memorial Museum. This is an amazing place and the displays and information are incredibly well put together. Even since the visit with last years Grade 5 class so much more has been added especially to the floor with the history and story of the Korean war. The students enjoyed the day finding out more about conflict and this prompted some really good discussion in class, specifically around one of our lines of Inquiry, Causes of conflict.
The challenge ahead for us in this unit to to discover how and why 'Peaceful solutions to conflict lead to a better quality of life'.
We spent some time at the end of the week putting together our shared knowledge and understanding of the Korean War, producing timelines with what we considered were the most significant events.
Over the next few weeks we will continue to look at current events to gain a better understanding of the problems and issues in the world, and more importantly try to think of ways that our action can make a difference. This leads us nicely into our exhibition unit.
I have shared some photos from this week.
Till next time
Mike
