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. Teresa
