Inquiry learning Room 11

Inquiry Learning is very directed at this stage and there are limited useful children's ideas.  They have little idea but with appropriate questioning it will encourage them to think about the Inquiry.  SOLO taxonomy has been introduced and this has been a challenge.  The children are mostly pre-unistructual.  SOLO will be frequently revisited to allow the children to become familiar with the symbols and what they mean.  Teaching the children how to ask appropriate questions to find out answers to our inquiry will be something that will continue to be worked on.

Great Stuff Christine! Even though your children are at the lower level of the taxonomy, that in itself is exciting as it allows you to show improvement very quickly simply by teaching them the words that are used to begin a question - from there you can teach them how to turn a statement into a question. I look forward to hearing about how you get on with coding understanding against SOLO
