Venice – a city built on water

Teacher group will be looking at VENICE and the buildings there.  They have been built in a special way because of all the water. This video clip will introduce you to what Venice looks like with all the canals (rivers of water).

For your own interest you can watch this video clip of a personal tour of Venice down the Main Canal. Notice the houses and what they are made from and their many grand designs. And of course, you will see some of the important bridges!

OUR INQUIRY INTO THE PAST

As part of our Signicant Structures – Local and Global Inquiry, Room 6 students were hard at work plotting new structures and features on their maps of the school.

They have done a fabulous job creating questions for their Wonderings Wall, asking the questions that we will need to answer as we find out all about the history of our school buildings.

Congratulations to each and every one of you for your ‘higher order thinking’ this week and for thinking about your learning.  The BIG QUESTION we ended up deciding on is:

What CHANGES have happened to SIGNIFICANT LOCAL STRUCTURES – past, present and future?

Now we need to start the “Finding Out” part of our petite inquiry into our school buildings!  😎
