Inquiry Clubs started on 3.3.15

As part of our Term 1 Inquiry topic the Koru Team children have been given an opportunity to choose to be part of one of the following six clubs on Tuesday afternoons for the next three weeks.

They continued on Tuesday 10 March. The final session will be held on 17 March.

After the first session, the children got into their club groups and worked cooperatively to come up with a group poster. 

The next day they used the ideas on these posters to help do some individual writing about the clubs that they attended.
