During week 10, both year 3 classes enjoyed a fantastic excursion to Adelaide Oval to support our next Unit of Inquiry: Communities. This unit has a strong focus on communities as systems which provide services that meet people's different needs.

We decided to visit the Adelaide Oval to begin our Unit to give us the opportunity to see examples of buildings and structures within a community and the interconnection of services, facilities and systems which function within society. Students were also able to make connections with our Unit of Inquiry: Rights and Responsibilities by identifying individual responsibilities within a team and recognising how a team can function successfully.

Once we arrived, we enjoyed the sunshine for our recess break before beginning our guided tour around the oval in small groups. Our experience included a tour of the museum, hearing about the history of the venue, participating in sports activities in the visitors change rooms, opperating the old scoreboard and experiencing a game day simulation activity.
