Exciting Inquiry!!

In Room 15 we have all chosen an animal to research. We are going to be writing an information report on this chosen animal. We will be practising and using the skills of researching, skimming and scanning, sorting and grouping information and presenting. 

We have found a really good search engine to help us. Its called Kiddle, google for kids. Some children have also issued a book from the school library to help them. 

Here is the website:
