Inquiry

Students will embark on an engaging journey of exploration centered around the question, 'How are we Impacted by our Environment?'. Throughout the term, students will explore the theme of water and how our environment impacts our daily lives. They will begin by understanding the significance of water and exploring the water cycle. Students will examine issues related to water access, investigate sustainability in water management and study water treatment methods. This learning will be enhanced using real-life examples and hands-on experiences, such as visiting CERES, where they will observe how changes in weather systems impact wildlife in local waterways, investigate the life that is supported in wetlands, and understand the impact we, as humans can have on it. Student voice data will be implemented when students will transfer their learning to design a water purifying model. How exciting! 

To support your child’s Inquiry skills at home, you could:    

• Ask your child about the different uses of water. 
• Why is water an important resource? 
• How does our environment impact our access to water? 
• Encourage your child to lead the household in water conservation strategies that they have learnt about in the classroom.
