A Busy Week of Inquiry and Exploration

The past several weeks have been busy with inquiry and exploration into the concept of learning. We have participated in a variety of activities including looking at how different people with different learning styles and intelligences learn best. Here are some of our discoveries:

"I am both a visual and auditory learner, I like to watch someone explain something to me while they explain it at the same time."
"I learn best when I am moving, this means I am a kinesthetic learner."
"I think of the reasons I like art so much is because I am a visual learner." (Making connections between the learning styles and their intelligences.)

Below are some photos of what we have been up to over the past week. If you are interested in finding out more, ask you child about the photos and what we were doing in each.

We made posters to share our understandings of the multiple intelligences.

We have been inquiring into words, their structure as well as their meaning.

We have been working together in groups and pairs to learning more about how other people learn.

We have also been learning about circles. As part of this study, we learned how to use a compass (and protractor for Gr. 5s) to create perfect circles.
