Our first Inquiry Unit for 2012 is 'A Bird's- Eye View'

We are inquiring into 'All living things have certain requirements so they can stay alive'. 
WE NEED TO CARE FOR OUR NATIVE BIRDS.

The big word we are learning is Sustainability.

When we started we got into our Buzz Groups. We brainstormed our first ideas about birds. Then we did some reading and watched a D.V.D.

The next step is to create some questions to further our Inquiry.

This week's question was ' What do birds look like?
