Sharing the Planet

This week we started our new unit under the transdisciplinary theme, Sharing the Planet. Our central idea is "Learning about extinction helps us prevent the loss of things we value."

Throughout this unit, the students will inquire into different extinctions that have occurred, the causes of extinctions and the impact that extinctions have on our lives.

This week, the students did a gallery walk of a variety of animals, which they later learned are animal species that have gone extinct. In groups, the students attempted to unscramble our central idea. We also dug deeper into what particular terminology associated with extensions mean.

We ended off the week by starting to do research about the animals that we encountered on our gallery walk.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone,

Ms Theona
