VOYAGE

We have developed an inquiry learning model unique to Ōpāwa School, 'VOYAGE'.  Our model is based on Kath Murdoch's Inquiry Learning model.  Our inquiry learning model focuses on teaching children the skills they need to undergo a successful inquiry project, engaging them in learning opportunities which encourage them to think further.  

The stages in our inquiry process are: 
View
 - What do I/we already know about this?
Obtain - Learning New Things: Experiences, Skills and Knowledge
Your Understanding
 - This is what I know now! These are the new things I can do.
A
ction - What interests me now? What are my questions? Where can I find this information? Who can help me?
Get it out there
 - How can I spread the word? How can I make a difference in my: * School, Community, World?
Evaluate
 - Have I answered my questions? Have I spread the word? How well have I used my new skills? What is my next learning step?
