Term 4 Unit of Enquiry

Our centre wide unit of inquiry for next term is Our Family Album. This has been our overarching unit of inquiry for 2013 and so we will continue to extend and explore this further in Term 4.

The central idea around this inquiry is - families shape who we are, where we've come from and who we become.

Our lines of inquiry are - family structure, roles and relationships within families, how families shape who we become.

Our guiding questions are - who belongs to your family? How do they belong to your family and what do they do in your family? How does your family influence and guide you?

Each individual class will take this unit of inquiry in different directions - that is all part of the adventure of inquiry! Please note that in addition to this unit of inquiry, each class will have other areas of inquiry that they will focus on during the term.


If you feel you can contribute to this inquiry in some way or would like further information about it, please feel free to discuss with your child's classroom educators.
