Wrapping up our Unit!

On Friday we wrapped up our unit of inquiry 'Who We Are'. We celebrated our learning by having a healthy snack party. Children were encouraged to make a healthy snack and explain to the class what nutritional benefits it had and how it was made. We had a variety of foods that represented our cultures and many of the food groups. Children confidently presented these and then we tucked in!

We have been working hard on researching the answers to our individual unit of inquiry questions. After we came up with our questions, we had a session with the librarian on how to use key words to search information online. We also learned how to navigate our way through the Kids Health website.

It took a while to find the information we needed and complete our mind maps. We then had to synthesise our information and write a statement that answered our question. When we made our posters, we thought about where to place pictures and how to set our information out so that it was eye catching and interesting. We had an opportunity to present these to the class and our grade 5 buddies in the afternoon. The children will record their statements and upload these to their individual blog pages when they return to school.
