Inquiry focus summary for 2022

What did my students learn about from being a part of the Class OnAir program in Rm 24? They learnt a range of hands-on practical Science experiments. Throughout this year they have worked collaboratively in pairs or small group which has encouraged key competencies such as sharing and turn taking skills. Each child's vocabulary has increased with the acuumculation of English language to their individual word bank. They have had sensory experiences and a range of interactive activities to support their wellbeing and cognitive development. This year has been a huge learning curve for these students in partiuclar who have learn and grown so much from the start of this year until now. Although, at times it has been challenging coping with the tail end of the Covid pandemic, with issues such as attendance and completing homework reading (overall it has been a successful outcome). I feel the children have benfitted from working closer with me as their teacher, (with small group work opportunities), role modelling and promoting Scientific Investigations as an Inquiry as well as positive learning outcomes.
