What did you learn about Rhinos? What is their Appearance/Description? What is the their Dynamics or Behaviour like?  What is their habitat like? What are some other interesting facts about Rhinos?

For our Inquiry topic of ‘What makes you Australian?’ students learnt about the reasons why people immigrate to Australia. Students went home and interviewed one of their family members to find out their story. We learnt so much from our teachers, parents and grandparents journey to Australia. Amy was especially inspired by her mother’s story and asked if we could act out the interviews. We decided to dress up as one of our parents and show our learning of immigration through the interviews. We pretended to be doing an episode of ABC’s wonderful program ‘Australian Story’. In between the segments there are adverts. Think about the advert: what is advert trying to convince you to do? Who is the advert aimed for (gender, age group)? Thanks to our parents and grandparents who gave us their time and shared their stories with us! Enjoy our video!

At the end of our ‘Survival on Earth’ unit in Term 2, we chose questions that we wanted to research further. We came up with some amazing questions and we demonstrated what we learnt in many ways such as creating dioramas, graphs, models, posters, PowerPoints and more. Below are some photos of our incredible work. We had a lot of fun research our own topics and we learnt a lot! Stay tuned for more photos soon!
