Our "We Are Kimberley" inquiry project is in full force! We have had a few discussions about what students still want to learn this year, and brainstormed how these ideas connect to the place we live. There has been a lot of talk about getting family members in as "experts" to talk to us, so I am very excited to see where this takes us! There is a LOT of interest in learning more about the Cominco mine and what the "olden days" were like in Kimberley, as well as interest in how buildings/structures were created.
After much thought and excited discussion, we have changed our dramatic play area in the classroom to Polaris Lodge, complete with a clock tower, fireplace for the hotel rooms and a "dummy downhill" event!
