Current+Unit+of+Inquiry

Revised: June 6th Our last Unit of inquiry was focused on how things may change and how we can cause changes in the surrounding world by using patterns, coulour and shape.

One of the ways we foster our learning and teaching environments is the way we use the neighbourhood and exploring what our host city can offer. Pre-K visited Wrocław's Music School led by our music teacher Mr. Radek and accompanied by parents. Students not only demonstrated great travelling manners, showed respect to the parents but also felt truly involved in exploring the Form of 'school' in comparison with 'our' school..
