Grade R Inquiry Based Learning

During the last week of the second term, the Grade R girls worked on their Inquiry Based Learning task. The theme was occupations and the girls were encouraged to fully explore and enjoy constructive play. The girls also participated in theme discussions about the different vehicles and buildings that are used by "people who help us." Girls were put into groups and planned their construction. They then drew a picture of what their vehicle/floor plan would look like bearing in mind the material that they have. Thereafter, the girls constructed their vehicle/floor plan using the recycled material that had been collected earlier, and then they painted and added the finishing touches.
