We have settled back into school life after the long holiday period and the children are beginning to inquire into Journeys and what that means.
If you haven't done so already, please remember to hand in the homework that was sent home last week and to include and souvenirs or photos from the Journey your family took. This activity is our front loader or rather, the starter activity for the Unit, giving the children a real life connection to the Center Idea. Please remember if you would like to come in and talk about a Journey you have been on please contact us to set up a time!
Here is a summary of the Unit ahead:
Central Idea: Journeys create change and can lead to new opportunities
An Inquiry in to:
- Types of journeys people make
- Choices and decisions involved in making a journey
- Changes experienced because of a journey
A few provocations and questions we will use to drive the Inquiry:
What is a journey?
What memories of a journey do you have? and why?
What different reasons are there to take a journey?
What did you need to do before going on your journey?
Why do we remember what we experienced on a journey?
What journeys would you like to go on?
