Social Studies: Peru
As explorers of the world, we are learning about what life is like in Peru so we can appreciate and understand other cultures. Students have rotated through 14 centres. They have documented their observations, wonders and learning in their Visual Journals using a variety of methods (sketches, labels, charts, webs, lists, writing amazon animal riddles). We will be having a catch up rotation where students will be able to finish any missed centres or add details.
Gym: Stations
