Preschool 5 students had a fantastic field trip to Souq Waqif last week. The children demonstrated the attributes of an inquirer – they were asking questions, making observations, collecting evidence and later drawing conclusions from what they witnessed. The children were especailly interested in the animals of Qatar, and luckily on this trip we were able to meet horses, falcons and camels!

Back in the classroom , the students reflected on their experiences on the trip and were able to draw conclusions about cultures and traditions of Qatar through discussion, observation and inquiry. The students used the experience to learn new things about the culture of Qatar and also,direct future learning about other cultures and traditions from around the world. It was a fun and educational experience. 🙂

Below are some samples of the evidence collected by the students themselves.
