Summarise. As we are an inquiry school we have found the next step on the journey an easier one. We have set up a wikispace to record our whole school journal through the inquiry process, our current inquiry is Spaces and Places – Playgrounds. http://musselburghplaygroundinquiry.wikispaces.com/ The staff are currently reflecting on their term 3 goals and resetting them for term 4.
