Our Latest Inquiry

This term we launched into our latest inquiry...

As part of this inquiry we are learning to be sound detectives and develop key understandings about the phenomena of sound and then explore this further through musical instruments. The key understandings we want the student to have by the end of this unit of work are...
Key Understanding 1: What is sound?
Key Understanding 2: How does the ear hear sound?
Key Understanding 3: Where does sound happen?
Key Understanding 4: How are different sounds made?
Key Understanding 5: What are the different instruments and the sounds they make?

Please come back and check out our blog entries as we undertake our latest whole school learning journey. You will find out what is happening in each class and what is happening as a school as our students develop these key understandings.
