Room+6




 * Howdy and welcome to the Inquiry Journey of Room 6.**

Term 1: "Knowing Me, Knowing You" gave us the opportunity to look at three different areas: > > Research took many forms: asking people, books, internet. We had to write 'Skinny Notes' about the information we found and then expand those notes using language we understood. Once we felt we had gathered all of the information needed to answer the question, we then decided how we were going to present it. We were allowed to choose any way to present that tickled our fancy. Groups used slideshows, posters, movies and dramas to share what they had discovered with the rest of the class. > > Each person had the opportunity to peer assess another group and this helped us decide who would present their information to the rest of the school. The last few days of our Inquiry time were spent evaluating how our learning went, how the skills we practised could be used in other areas and what needed to be considered before our next Inquiry in Term 2. > > Term 2: "Life is Choice" has allowed our class to work through the DARE programme. The following areas are of real interest to us:
 * **What's up with the brain?**
 * **What was going on in the world the year I was born?**
 * **How are children in other countries the same or different to children in ours?**To start with we split off into the three groups and came up with questions we wanted to investigate. Then we grouped the questions and decided which ones would be pursued. After that we revisited each question to ensure they made sense and then confirmed who we would be working with throughout the inquiry process. Then the fun began!!!!!


 * ** Ways we can keep ourselves safe. **
 * ** How to say 'no'. **
 * **The effects of drugs on our bodies.**
