Unit of Inquiry

How does a unit of inquiry work?
The video below will give you an insight into a Unit of Inquiry at GWA from beginning to end. The video was made two years ago during our beaches and oceans unit. Every year we continue to build on the previous years and it just continues to get better and better.

Our First Week

It is hard to believe the first week of school has come and gone. We have been working hard this week getting to know each other as well as the rules and routines of KG2. New friendships are being made as we all discover how much we have in common as well as how interesting our differences are.

They are working very hard in class, making new friends and are having lots of fun!

I hope they are enjoying their time with me, as much as I am enjoying my time with them!

Take a look at some photos from our first week.
