In 1/2B we have begun to explore the needs of living things in our inquiry learning time. This began with the needs of plants, where we observed, sketched, asked questions and planted seeds, bulbs, cuttings and runners to test our theories. Students have also shared their current understanding of the needs of animals through building a play world. Grade 1s are beginning to look at seasonal changes that might affect our plant growth, while the Grade 2s are looking further out at the solar system and how the sun and moon might affect our living things.
