WEb Quest

How do we remember and preserve the past?
What makes people leave a footprint?
Do people always leave a footprint on purpose?
What kind of footprint is left the most?
What footprints last the longest?

These are some of your questions for Inquiry....
One way to find out more about the footprints people leave is to find out more about the people who left them.

Your task is to select and complete a Webquest in your research team to grow your knowledge.
Check out the links below then select one webquest to complete with your inquiry group.

Choose something you are interested in and looks like fun.
Some of these require you to print a sheet to guide your thinking and record ideas.

WELCOME BACK

Welcome to Term 4 of 2010. For many of you this is your last term at primary school and you are preparing to move on to intemediate school. For others you are preparing to take on the role of senior school students as Year 6 students and will be able to take on more responsibilities in the school such as Assembly Leaders, Jump Jam leaders, librarians, and Dynamos.
Now is the time to start thinking about the things you would like to achieve next year by contributing to the school community and deciding what things you would like to try out next year such as new sports and clubs.

We had a fantastic and meaningful Inquiry last term. lets begin to explore the way different peoples have left their footprint when they have moved on from a place of time. i can think of pyramids, carvings and murals. What can you think of?
