Inquiry Centre

Highlight 

What an exciting week two we have had in the Inquiry Centre. 

Students have been doing some persuasive writing this week. We began by deciding our stance on some silly 'would you rather' questions such as “Would you rather have hands for feet or feet for hands?”. This created a great debate in class! The students then had a chance to try and convince their teachers that they should get free time at the end of the day! Students were encouraged to include a range of WOW words in their writing. It was great to hear all the amazing reasons students had to support their points of view!
