How does the smell of a rose get to your nose?

Thank you to those of you that made it along to our parent evening on Wednesday.

On Wednesday evening we had a wonderful time hosting our parents, here in our classroom. We shared a presentation which gave insight into the everyday experiences the girls have, and also explored the journey which we have been on in relation to our shadow inquiry. 

Following on from this we invited our parents to reflect on and theorize about the question, 'How does the smell of a rose get to your nose?'

Next they were presented with the challenge of exploring their ideas visually, on paper and then having to join with a partner and work towards establishing a shared understanding. Finally, each group worked to create a three-dimensional sculpture depicting their understand of how the smell of a rose gets to your nose!

This experience highlighted the complexities of working in groups, the need to make compromises, negotiate and problem solve, and to develop confidence in sharing your thoughts and ideas. These ideas can be linked directly to the experiences our girls are having each and every day.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable evening, and a wonderful way for our parents to make connections and get to know one another, as well as finding out more about the learning experiences their daughters have in the Foundation Class.
