It is only now, a year on from my last post, as this inquiry is about to start again with a new batch of Year 6 pupils, that I realise how remiss I have been in my reflections.
As the inquiry drew to a close last year, schools were shut, final pieces of work were completed at home, photos submitted to the teacher, who then retired, and we therefore have very little evidence of the wonderful thinking and discussion that had gone on in class.
However, I can say that in terms of the INVESTIGATE and CONSTRUCT skills above that we hoped to help pupils develop, the inquiry was a great success and many of them now possess a range of note-taking skills that a much older pupil would be proud of.
We are now beginning this inquiry with pupils once again at home, but all set for an imminent return to school and I look forward to seeing what they produce.
