Homelearning

Alongside our classroom inquiry learning we will need time to learn at home...the homework sheets will continue, but they will be lighter to enable a focus on this passion project:

Energy

Switched On to Switching Off

How we can be responsible energy users.

WALT: How we make smart energy choices? Human impact - what choices do we make?

WALT: We are learning what energy sources are renewable/nonrenewable

WALT: We are investigating how our school/our home can be self-sufficient?

NOW: A Combination of the last 5 weeks of school = your new Passion Project. 

·     You have till the 4^th July to pull together your passion project. 

·     You can present it in any way you want: oral, visual, written report, multimedia presentation.

·     Remember to include an action (so what, now what??)

·     See Mrs S for a copy of the rubric if you want it.

 good luck, may the force be with you!??

We will finish off with renewable energy in week 3.  We are still gathering data for our statistical investigation. 


Weeks running up to Easter...
We are in the middle of our last inquiry for T1.
