== =Reflection on our RISE Inquiry= =Please fill out the boxes below=

Ignition- movtivating students. Action - motivating - at the end of unit children implemented a new tradition to be started or trialled in their family. Children enjoyed finding out information which motivated them for formulating questions Lots of discussion about traditions and family life in the past. Topic included everyone. Other resources were used as well as the computer. Good that some students were able to share their findings verbally and with confidence when presenting. || Children who don't complete set tasks for questioning. Finding age appropriate resources. Children who don't work individually. time frame possibly too short. Lots of knowledge stage then ran out of time for inquiry or questioning. Mucky at the end with children finishing at different times. || Tighten time frames. More sharing across the school of ideas for lessons and resources. Longer for the juniors. More hands on for juniors. Sharing at teams. More resources for creating. ||
