Grade 2 term 1 Where we are in place and time

This week we began to think about our new unit of inquiry. We looked at change and the reasons for change. The children made some beautiful and imaginative pictures to show change in different situations. We also thought about whether change was something good or not. In general the children thought that change was a positive thing.

We also thought about one of the IB attitudes that we are going to focus on over the next few weeks, which is tolerance. The children have been working really hard putting together a performance to showcase how we can be tolerant and what happens if we are not. We`ve had a couple of practice runs and they are coming along really well.

Finally, we`ve started thinking about our central idea, dealing with migration. Today we watched videos of migrating animals to get the children thinking and asking questions. The children came up with some great ideas, all of which are going up on the wonder wall.

Have a great holiday and keep up the good work!
