Term Two
Our enquiry is: Why is South America Important?
|
This term, the children will be exploring the big question: “Why is South America Important?” To help us investigate this, we will work through a series of mini-enquiries: Through videos, research, class discussions, and shared experiences, children will have the opportunity to reflect on these questions and develop their own.
