Term 3 Inquiry Focus: Hen Farming

At the momemt Room 16 are looking at Battery Farming vs Free Range Farming of 'Chickens'. We are using the inquiry model to guide us through the inquiry. Our first stage of ignition was to find out what we knew and where we would go. The children didn't know alot and they tended to ask lots of questions that seemed very basic to adults, but to them it was where they were at. It seemed to be going really well with me providing lots of information to get them questioning. With lots of interuptions this term we are still working through at week 8 our discovery. Most children have found relevant information and next week we will be looking at using the information in a meaningful way. As you can see with the blogs the children have been writing they are enjoying the inquiry learning process.
