Developing Curiosity, Awe and Wonder

All children are curious and wonder about something in our world! Giving our children time to explore, think and discover through developing an inquiring mind, inspires them to ask questions, ignite interests and have opportunities to think about what they are learning. 

In Year 2 this term we are “Wondering about Water”. Through many class brainstorms and discussions the students have identified what they already know about water and are now devising questions to research what they would like to learn about water. Our class has been very interested in the oceans of the world and how we can conserve water in our school environment!

Did you know that when students use the toilets at recess, not everyone turns the tap off? We have noticed and are using our integrated learning time to plan, create and then display educational posters in the school bathrooms to remind everyone how valuable water is.
