Our Inquiry

We have started our class inquiry. Our starting words were "Earth, Water and Fire"
As a class we talked about all of these words and what we thought of when these words were said. Here are some of our fantastic ideas:

• They are elements
• Earth is a rock
• Lots of water can cause a flood
• Earthquakes happen on Earth

And much much more...

From our brainstorm we started to talk about our world. Yolanda asked "why do people do bad things to our world?" This amazing question started a discussion in our class. We talked about what people are doing to our world. We really enjoyed this discussion and decided as a class that this would become our main inquiry question! To get us thinking more about our world we looked at video clips on you tube. We then used our coloured thinking hats to discuss how we felt and what we could do to stop the things that are happening in our world...

Come into our class and look at our inquiry wall to see our 'thinking hat' thinking.
