Our Lady Lourdes Visit

The focus on Inquiry Learning provided the Coley St team with an insight into another schools rationale.  We noted difference and similarities.  A major difference was the whole focus on one theme.  This appeared to provide the teachers with control over what the children would be learning.  We wondered, with the structure of lessons and learning set at the beginning of an Inquiry, whether there was an opportunity for the children to explore their own question as they came up.

We were really interested in 

• ibook
  
• Mobile internet access on camp
  
• mp3 player as voice recorder for podcasting
• the water feature in courtyard

Again a valuable opportunity to see another inquiry process in action.
