We have been working on a two term unit called ....
'Money Doesn't Grow On Trees'.
Term 2 was our knowledge dump when we discovered as much as we could about money -
- its history?
- its uses?
- what needs and wants are?
- people's opinions about money - good / bad etc.?
- how to make it - pocket money, earnings, savings etc.?
- the cost of food - lunchbox costs, the cost of set meals etc.?
- what people do with their money after they've paid their bills?
Term 3 is the time where we get down to the nitty gritty of making a change by following the steps of our HES inquiry model to develop a 'Social Action'.
What did we decide?
Scenario....
Hamilton East Buikwe School is our sister school in Uganda. They have been our sister school for a few years now and due to their lack of technology it was difficult to maintain contact with them. Ms Bobsien asked our class for help as she could no longer keep supporting them due to a change of role in our school.
Luckily for us we discovered that they now have a facebook page which you can look at here

We have now made contact with
Pastor Paul Mulamira who has been communicating with us so we can find out more about Hamilton Buiwke School and their needs.
We are very excited about supporting this school. Here are some pictures of us using our Inquiry Model to establish questions that will help us to understand the ways that we can make a difference.
As we continue to develop ways of helping Hamilton Buiwke School we will add to our blog so you can follow our learning journey with us.
