BUILDING A MUSEUM – YEAR 3/4 LEARNING INQUIRY
Exploring the concept of creativity, our inquiry started by looking at what inspires us as individuals. A collection of artefacts we called ‘seeds’ was used to explore how we can relate to one another, helping to identify what connects us as a community. We displayed these artefacts in a ‘Seed Wall’, which allowed us to develop questions around how artefacts of importance are displayed and organised. This directed us to ask: how do we share important cultural knowledge? These ideas built momentum and moved us to investigate museums. We then developed our own PHPS museum based on the children’s curiosities, interests and their links to our community. Through a relationship with Museums Victoria, we were able to install our exhibits at the Melbourne Museum to gather feedback and identify areas for improvement. The inquiry has culminated in a special PHPS Museum being set up at the school. The detailed journey of our yearlong inquiry has been documented in this special book.
