Inquiry - Communities use natural resources in a variety of ways

We are learning to collaborate:
Success Criteria
  • brainstorm ideas together
  • listen to each other 
  • respond in a positive manner to the ideas from team members 
  • contribute to the discussion
  • decide as a team on a way to best use the natural resource


This is our space to work on. 

Pohutukawa Team 



Small groups discussions and sharing of ideas.


Everyone sharing exciting ideas.



Will our ideas work? How much will it cost?




More discussions and wonderings.


Planning on going back to class to put the ideas down on paper. 


Learning Collaboratively

We were working collaboratively on our learning about ANZAC Day. We had to find and share information, agree with our answers and create our responses together on the slides.


 






Vocabulary Building

We have celebrated ANZAC day on the 25th of April. In class, we have also been learning more about this special day. First, we read the book 'Dawn Parade' together. One of the goals we are working on is to expand our vocabulary. We have found a number of tricky words and looked at their meanings and also at the synonyms for these. Here are some examples of this activity.
