  4. The Trial

  5. How does it work • School is divided into 8 communities of 3-4 classes • Mixture of year levels • Each year the communities are renamed and regrouped generally according to our overall ‘BIG CONCEPT’ eg: 2009 – Scientist’s names – Science/technology focus – science fair

  6. Meetings • Generally no additional meetings • Communities once every 3 weeks or as needed eg: production, planning, assemblies

  7. PLANNING • In 2008/2009 planned inquiry/topic as a vertical community • Feedback from staff was that it was too difficult due to the range of age levels and abilities • 2010 reverted back to horizontal planning across the year groups. All same year levels plan together for topic/inquiry eg: all year 2’s plan inquiry together
