Senior Unit Update Week 9

Week 9 is here and there is still plenty of things happening in the Senior Unit. Here is a quick run down of what is going on.

Year 6 Excursion to Parliament House
This week the Year 6's will be travelling to Parliament house to find out more about the government and how it works. We have had this planned for Thursday but maybe due to government scheduling we were still  trying to find out. Long story short they stepped up our visit to this Wednesday. While a short turn around we know that we can do this. Forms went home tonight that need to get back to school as soon as possible so we can go on Wednesday. If you have any questions please email us for further information.

Exhibition
The Year 7's are in the early stages of Exhibitions and are starting to formulate their ideas. It is a great experience for the Year 7's and we look forward to seeing what they can produce. Sharing the Planet is the theme of the Exhibition this year.

Unit of Inquiry
The Year 6's are looking at resources in Unit of inquiry at the moment. Here is the central idea and lines of inquiry for this topic.

Central Idea
Resources are used to sustain life

Lines of Inquiry
The importance of resources to communities
Ways resources can change
The impact of humans on resources

It will be an interesting topic to look at and inquire into.

Look for further updates and have a great week.
