The Year 1 students have been extremely busy during the last two weeks completing their final assessment task for our first unit of inquiry - "I'm In Charge". Utilising all of the knowledge that they have acquired over the past 6 weeks they have each planned and constructed an unsafe scenario. They have also recorded ways to make that situation safe as well as suggesting what type of first aid they would administer if there was an accident. Both classes have come up with a variety of unsafe situations and their dioramas and plans will be displayed outside the year 1 classrooms. You are most welcome to view them before or after school.
Our next unit of inquiry is titled "Going Places." Show and Share for the next 2 weeks will have a transport theme. We have asked the children to share a form of transport - past or present - with their classmates. They may like to bring in a photo, a book, a model or just share an experience about a form of transport. As two of the key concepts of this unit are form (what is it like?) and function (how does it work?) it would be terrific if the children could describe their chosen mode of transport and briefly outline how it works.
Enjoy the long weekend!
