Environment Mini Projects

Over the last two weeks the students have been working in collaborative groups to inform others about an environment in the local community. They had the choice of presenting their information in either a poster or an iMovie. The students had to answer the following questions in their projects.

1.       What is your environment?
2.    What type of environment is it? (Natural or built, shopping centre, park etc)
3.   Who uses or needs this environment?
4.   How do they use or need it?
5. Where is your environment?
Any extra information of your own

Have a look at some of the fantastic projects below!

Term 4 Inquiry: Caring for our Environment

To begin our inquiry unit about the environment, Year 1 went on a walk to check out the different types of environments in the local environment. We took lots of photos and found lots of different types of environments. 

Following the walk, the students learnt about natural and built environments, and were able to sort the pictures of environments into those categories. 

They are now working on a mini project to inform others about one environment in the local community. They are including information such as the type of environment, its purpose, who uses or needs the environment and its location.
