Term 1 - 2010, (Through the Ages)

Kia ora everyone,

I have been around the classes and spoken to some students about where they are at with this term's Inquiry - Through the Ages. They seem very well motivated and in general have done the background work at home in choosing something to focus in on, this being either someone or something that has connections with their families past.

I also like some of the question coming through like, "how much am I like ?????" or why is this ????? so important to our family, or "why is our family name?????.

It is also very apparent that information sources will mostly be contained to other family members and these inquiry will be very personal and don't lend themselves to many opportunitites to work in groups.

Lets get on with these and quickly wind them up. I do want to culminate in quality sharing time in your classes and in school assembly, (for some). The other critical area is on class blogs so that parents and other whanau can see and hear about findings at home.

Ano
