Prep/1WY we have been using an inquiry approach to teaching and learning called ‘Investigations’. It combines the need for children to be active participants in their learning (through hands-on and creative exploration and investigation) and sits alongside the explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy as well as all other learning areas. During this time students have the opportunity to investigate their wonderings, explore the properties and elements of things, to problem solve, to take risks, to think deeply, to construct ideas and meaning, to utilise their own understandings and discover new ones, to become interested in endless possibilities and opportunities and to find out, to try, to have a go and to develop resiliency.
