Inquiries - WOW



I am so pleased with the inquiries. A lot of work has gone into them. Thank you very much everyone who helped make these inquiries what they are. I have read many of the interviews and the documented discussions that students have had with parents, sibling, grandparents, friends and relatives. I am impressed with the comments made and the encouragement and the opportunities that have been given to students, helping them extend their understanding of the Treaty of Waitangi (As well as a range of other agreements)

There is nothing more powerful in education then working in partnership with your child. Showing an interest in what they are doing and supporting where necessary.


We are now presenting, evaluating, assessing and developing our next step. To see the student's comments and next steps view comments on this post.

I think overall I did extremely well, my next steps would be to show personal opinions in my content and interviews.

I think I did very well for my first time in year 7. It was very interesting finding out lots and lots of information about something that is important to New Zealand.

KIO!

I think I did very well. My next steps would mainly be getting more questions, and more people to interview.

I think I did well on this inquiry and I was pleased that I got a higher mark than last year. Next steps would be time management, all though I got it in on time I would have got a better result if I hadn't put it off for so long.

This term I had fun doing the inquiry and I am happy with my effort. I think I have done better then I did last year because, my inquiry has more content and I have used more inquiry strategies. If I were to do it again I would like to manege my time better and have done some more research.

I think that I did quite well for me but I still found it challenging to find information. My next steps are to add more content and personal opinions into my work.

I think I did a good job and I am happy with the finished product. I really enjoyed researching something that is so important to New Zealand. However I found it challenging to find time to find different resources and information. My next steps are to put my personal opinions and expressions into the content of my inquiry.

Next time I want to talk to more important people about it.

I'm not very pleased about how I did my report because I left it to the last minute and didn't really go into depth on my task. My next step is next time I would really like to manage my time better and really concentrate on the take given to me.
