Tomorrow in the last block of the school day the students will be presenting and sharing their research for the build up to Exhibition. The students have chosen areas of interest and in small groups have researched their topics, finding interesting facts and organizations that are involved in those areas. This is to build up the students background knowledge and to provoke interest and questions that the students will want to investigate further.
If you can make it to Grade 5 tomorrow at 2:15 we would love to share our research with you.

Gearing up towards Exhibition
Hi everyone
Lunar Break has come and gone and with it begins our exciting build up towards Exhibition. This is the opportunity for students to choose areas of interest to complete their own unit of inquiry on. Sometimes discovering what that area of interest is challenges the students and we have been doing a lot of work identifying issues and problems in the world. Bringing those big issues down to a manageable size where the students can find out about, and then decide how to do something about it ( take action) is the challenge. Getting the students to talk about their research and areas of interest at home would certainly help.
As you can see by the photo we have made a good start on identifying issues to research and by the end of this week the students will be well on their way with the research part of the process. Group work and the sharing of ideas is a major part of this unit, so honing those cooperation and collaboration skills will be important to a successful unit.
There will be a couple of opportunities for you to be involved in the exhibition process along the way with a mini research fair and Action Day being planned. We will give you more information regarding dates and times once the students have planned out and timetabled the process and time-frames for exhibition. Below is some of the big issues we are looking at so far.
