K2 UISG Newsletter Week of 23 March 2015

K2Y has welcomed a new student to their class,

Maxim. The K2Y students are helping Maxim to find
Unit of Inquiry: How We Organise Ourselves
places in the school and show him what we do.
K2G also has a new student Rachel. She has settled Central Idea: Transportation systems are directly
related to the needs of a community
quickly and is a welcome new face in the classroom.
Our inquiry into How We Organise Ourselves
continues and we are now moving into the
summative assessment phase. Students will be
creating their own community and deciding what it
will look like. We will then move on to making
decisions about what transport people use in our
new communities.
Please remember to send a hat to school every
Monday for your child to wear in the playground.
