A Few of our Favourite Things!

Welcome back to Term 3, we hope you had an exciting as well as restful break and we are looking forward to an interesting term. This week the children have been introduced to the concept that 'People are driven to create, construct and investigate'. All of these things lead to change and our big question is 'does change make things better?' We shared with the children some of our favourite objects and what they were like in the past, we have also considered what they will be like in the future. This week the children have been going to workshops around key skills that they will need in order to investigate their own favourite object in depth. These workshops included identifying keywords, scanning and note taking, summarising and writing simple reports. We would like your child to choose a favourite object for next week (they could either bring the object in with your permission or take a photo of it - we are happy to print any photos emailed to us). During class time we will be looking at the changes it has undertaken as well as asking them what it might be like in the future and to justify their answers. To help them you might like to talk to them about what object they would like to choose - please don't go into too much depth about their object as we will be asking them to use their new skills to research and present their findings during class time.

Thank you for your support!
