Year 5 & 6 Inquiry


Challenging Choices (Term 1, 2016)

Central Idea: Success is determined by our values and beliefs.

Students inquired into what it means to be successful and what attitudes one needs to be successful. Everyone researched someone who they believed embodies these values and attitudes and wrote a biography.

Students were encouraged to reflect on their own attitudes and values and choose an area which they believed needed improvement.  They set SMART goals and developed some strategies which they were encouraged to practice and track daily.
