During remote learning in Inquiry, Grade 5/6FA have  been learning about the Social Justice topic, ‘Care for the Kids’. We have learnt about the concept of Social Justice and in particular the United Nations Rights of the Child. We have explored what it means to be a Global Citizen and how we all have a responsibility to help others when we can.

 

As the unit developed we examined the Habits of Mind, ‘Thinking Flexibly’ and ‘Listening with Understanding and Empathy’ because, we discussed that if we are to help others in need, we do need to change our way of thinking.

Below are some comments from 5 / 6 FA children on learning in Inquiry during remote learning:

I liked learning about how changing the way we think can influence the way we treat others and help those in need- Vinh
