Room 1 Japan inquiry

Much better this term, knowing more about the process.  More to do here and to make it more child based, although some of the items we chose are leading us to different places. e.g. investigating Mt Fuji means the children now want to find out about volcanos, how the earth was formed, etc.  This will lead nicely to topics for next term.  Didn't do many of the things I had thought about initially especially the music and dance.
At this level the process and the terminology seems to go over their heads but I guess the more we practice it the more the process will make sense!!!
