Inquiry Project
This term, the 4/5’s are doing this thing where we invent stuff to solve problems for the school. Our group project is called THE SEED SORTER 6000. The seed sorter 6000 is a sorting system in which we put the seeds in this cardboard box, which has a sign on it that says what season is best planted in, and there are sections in the garden where it says what season is best for growing in and where making the shed better.
