The children returned happy and rested and ready to go. We chatted and caught up with our friends over our Holiday Doodle Sheet. Over the week, the children also worked together to create mini-obstacle courses in class. The children began to explore money, sharing what they knew and investigating different currencies that they had brought from home. They developed their observational skills by using magnifying glasses and doing coin-rubbings. We used the I see, I think, I wonder thinking routine and also explored currency exchanges.
We began tuning in to our new unit of inquiry by playing a trading game and thinking about personal experiences of giving and getting. We unpacked the Central Idea of "Exchange systems help our community", and analysed some exchange systems around school. We also visited the Library to find books that connected to money or exchanges. There was also time for a spot of hula-hooping!
