INQUIRY (HUMANITIES & SCIENCE) In Semester One, students participate in an Inquiry topic called ‘ Back to the Future ’. The students explore how the local area has changed over time and how the changes in the geography of their local area and its rich history, have affected our lives and living today. They study our local area by visiting local historical sites and comparing them to the area today. Students also look at how technology has changed over time. They describe the purpose of familiar designed items and how they meet the needs of their users and affect others and environments.
