It feels like I am kind of knowing where I am. I know the next stage and I am working towards it. It gives me something to aim for and I know when I get there. It helps make your goals clearer. It is a new and different classroom. We work with Mrs Macqueen, she wants us to succeed but find it out ourselves. It makes it a fun way of learning. LUCY MAHER 8yrs

I like the inquiry cow unit because we get to dissect cows eyes. Using SOLO makes learning easier because I get to think about my learning and my behaviour. I like the cow unit because it is topic we all want to know about. By Connar 8yrs

Emma 8 Yrs

• I like the inquiry unit because we get to visit places and find out the answers.

• I like the HOT maps, because they make the information easier to read.

• SOLO helps you know where you are at in your learning.

Jordan 8

• I like SOLO because I feel like I am in charge of my learning and it is important for me when I get older. We learn heaps of cool stuff and I am more confident on the computer. Mrs Macqueen is working with us she finds out stuff and is a guide for me.
