Welcome to Our Class Blog

Follow our journey through the inquiry process as we explore how water and weather are interconnected. 

Our big question we are exploring is:
"What is the importance of water to life on Earth?"

Students in our 5/6 cohort are now in "water workshop" groups based on their research interest. Our group is focusing on water and weather. The other groups are looking at "How to Save Water", "Water and Health", "Living Things" and "Local Environmental Issues".

We are all very excited to get started on our research projects and will be posting tasks, information and pictures on our blog as we go along. Be sure to join us for this adventure!

  3. Thanks Miss Augello! I am not very sure what blizzards are but because it is in my question (How is snow formed and what causes BLIZZARDS?)i will research and find pictures of it. Our inquiry group is so lucky to have Miss Augello as our teacher and we are also lucky to have to topic 'Weather and Water'! :)
