Inquiry Walk Around St Clair

This week our class went for a walk around the different areas in our community. Some of us went to the park, some to the local shops, others to the St Clair hot salt water pool, while others simply went for a walk around the block surrounding school. The purpose of the walk was to meet some of the people in our community. Before we left, as a class we constructed some questions we wanted to find out. For example: what are you doing in St Clair, what part of Dunedin are you from, why have you come to St Clair and what is your favourite leisure activity. We also asked the people we met if we could take their photo so that we could discuss them we when all got back together. Our next step as a class is to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the people we met today and the people we have learnt about who came and settled here in the 1800-1900's. We will post our thoughts up in the next few days. A special thanks to the parents who came and helped us and also to the lovely people who agreed to answer our survey and have their photo taken.
