Term 1 Inquiry Learning - Innovation - "Actively Healthy".

This term we played some class games and looked at how we can change them to make them better. We were being innovative thinkers! We then created a basketball skills activity with a small team and then we taught our activity to another team. We had to work together and each have a special job to help our team. After we taught our activity we thought of some ideas that could make our activity better, we had great innovation!
