Inquiry

Today in Inquiry, we worked as a group to find information about haggis. This is a part of our studies into iconic foods from all over the world.

The groups were each given information which they shared out amongst themselves. Students were also given a sheet to fill out to record the information. then they all highlighted important information and filed out their sheets. the groups conferred with each other to have more comprehensive answers.
