It’s a journey not a race We build strong foundations for learning. We don’t build as high as we can, as fast as we can.

How does it all fit together? All subjects are taught through the Unit of Inquiry where possible.

This year the K1 Units of Inquiry are: Who we are Five Senses How the world works Light Where we are in place and time Journeys How we express ourselves Stories
