4D INQUIRY REPORT

Week 4 by Marcus

Today 4D is SORTING OUT their questions!

We are also trying to think of interesting and exciting ways to present our information. Some groups are presenting their information as news reports…others are creating plays.

We are enjoying this because we are learning as well as having fun!

STAY TUNED....

PhotoStory 3

In 4D we are learning how to use PhotoStory 3. We have created a PhotoStory using photos from our excursion to the Maritime Museum. We have learnt how to import images, add text (to help create our recount), create transitions and add music to make our story interesting!
CHECK OUT THE AWESOME WORK WE HAVING BEEN CREATING BELOW!

INQUIRY BASED LEARNING IN 4D

Report by Emily, Tom, Carla & Jenna

This term Year 4 are learning about British Colonisation.

Our first step of the Inquiry based Model is TUNING IN. This is where we did a mind map about what we knew about British Colonisation. We also went an excursion to the Maritime Museum to learn about the Endeavour.

Our second step was FINIDING OUT. Miss D asked us to find information about one of three topics.
The three topics are:
Topic 1-Convicts
Topic 2-Aboriginal Life Before British Colonisation
Topic 3-Effects of British Colonisation on Australian Society

We have just formed our groups and are starting step 3- SORTING OUT- Coming up with questions to investigate based on our topic.

STAY TUNED for more exciting information on Inquiry Learning in 4D
