Inquiry


Inquiry

This term, learners will be inquiring into the question ‘How can we use our senses to investigate our curiosities?’ Following the science inquiry skills within the Victorian Curriculum, they will learn to use their five senses to predict, observe and record experiments on light and sound. With their newfound knowledge, learners will explore how the use of light and sound can be transferred into enhancing a celebration through their Prep Prom. 

 

To support your child at home: 

  • Investigate household items that create light and sound and record observations through the five senses. 
  • Encourage your child to explore their curiosities and make predictions (generating a hypothesis). 
  • Practise the class dance once it has been shared by the classroom teacher in preparation for Prep Prom.
