Grade 4 students were engaged and intrigued by three local animal experts – Gareth Patterson (author ‘Secret Elephants’), Louw Claasens (Knysna Basin Project) and Terry Kallis (Steenbok Nature Reserve) during a visit to the school’s Learning Commons last week. Through Project Based Learning the children experienced the joy of interviewing these experts and also engaging other sources of information; using the school’s iPad bank, video media and reference books to create digital books on the Knysna Elephant, Knysna Seahorse and Knysna Dwarf Chameleon. A huge thank you to these experts for their willingness and expertise!
