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
