Unit of Inquiry

This unit began with the children listening to the poem 'Hurt no living thing' and making their first drawing of living things in a garden.
As the children work through the unit they will be focusing on the big ideas of observation and documentation.  While learning about insects the children have visited and revisited the gardens in school.  Each time building on what they have seen before.

Using magnifying glasses, observation containers and cameras they have been able to develop their observation skills. By paying close attention to the insects, leaves, plants and flowers they are not only true inquirers but are also becoming increasingly knowledgeable and caring.

Looking for butterflies !
