Inquiry

At Flowerdale Primary School, our students have a strong connection to the rural community in which they live. The subject areas of Science, History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship, Economics, Media and Technology are taught through classroom inquiries.

Over the 4 terms our students are provided with opportunities to focus on the following:

Term 1 - Who are we?

Knowing and understanding themselves as individuals and as members of groups. Understanding behaviours that promote positive and productive relationships.

Term 2 – History

Knowing about and understanding our individual and collective histories, and the impact these have on our lives today. Understanding that history is created every day.

Term 3 - Our Earth (Sustainability)

Knowing and understanding that our planet sustains life and is made up of finite resources, and that our individual and collective choices impact on the planet.

Term 4 - Going Global

Knowing and understanding that Flowerdale is one place that forms part of a larger world, and that locations are unique to their people and cultures.
