Stage 2 - Inquiry Learning

Malo E Lelei,

Here are a few pictures of our Stage 2 process of Inquiry. We have used the digital devices as our main source of finding information but we know that we can also use books from the library, newspaper articles, information from the news and ask adults who might be experts with information about sports gears/wears/countries.
