Sharing the Planet
This is our new unit of inquiry for Grade 2/3. We will be starting to tune in for the unit this week. Have a look at what we will be inquiring into. If any of you are experts in this field or have contacts with agencies that support the environment and living things, we would really like them to come and share their knowledge with the students. Please contact any of the Grade 2/3 teachers if you can help. We would also like to use technology to aid our inquiries, so if you have contacts/ experts in environmental systems in other countries that we could either Skype or email please let us know.
Thanks
Ms Claire

ReplyDeleteI think this unit is going to be about habitats or animals because of what the words say with the dots. I think our teacher will tell us about how animals live and were animals live. Or our teacher will tell us were most things will live. I think our unit is about habitats or animals. Signe
ReplyDeleteI think this unit is going to be about habitats and human impacts on it. Why I think this is because it is talking about environment and what humans are doing to destroy it so living things cant live on that environment.

I think the new unit is about sharing the planet because it says environment and living things.Because sharing the planet is about the environment also living things because sharing the planet means things.Such as humans,animal,insect,mammals also nature.I think we are going to learn about how people are damaging the environment and how people are taking action to help.I think we are having a trip to a river to see things people are throwing in it.I notice plastic is one of the things people throw in.People throw such things as plastic like plastic bottles or sometimes they throw paper,trash and garbage.
