Our new inquiry is looking into the Power of Plants. We started this week with generating some of our first ideas and questions we have about seeds, gardens, and plants. These ideas provide us with starting points for student learning and investigations.
We spent the afternoon, in the blustery wind, investigating the gardens around the school. The seniors have been working hard on their green spaces and have a number of vegetables, strawberries and, luckily for the butterflies, swan plants on the go. Their efforts are an inspiration!
Along with coming up with questions that we would like to investigate the students spent some time looking at the planter boxes that the Junior school will begin to plant and care for. There is a lot of excitement about what we could plant and also so many students volunteering to water, weed and watch out for seedlings.
Here is a small selection of our questions.
