Inquiry Learning - Orangutan Awareness

We worked with Mrs Munro in the Inquiry process to find out information about orangutans.

First Mrs Munro put a 'What's this a photo of' on the interactive board. Slowly she revealed more of the photo. You guessed it and so did we - it was an orangutan!

Next we came up with questions of things that we would like to know about orangutans.

We wrote our questions down.

Then we had some time to look at some orangutan books.

Mrs Munro came back the next day with some printed out information about our questions.

We had to find the answers to our questions on the sheets and write them down on our paper.

On the last two days we use Keynote to present our findings.

We think we did an amazing job and learnt a lot about orangutans.

Inquiry Learning about Orangutans

Mrs Munro came back to Room 3 this term to teach us about orangutans through inquiry learning. First she read us a story about a little orangutan baby. Next we had to write down a question about something we wanted to learn about orangutans. On the next day we learnt about key words, contents pages and index's. We had lots of books to help us to find information that would help to answer our questions. We worked in threes and wrote some of the information that we found on our sheets. On the next day we went onto 'Key Note' to start our own slideshows. We had to make a cover page and then find a picture on google that went with our story. After that we typed up our information. We learnt a lot about orangutans. Thank you Mrs Munro.
