We have been behaving like scientists and learning about our past and about how magnets work. Scientists ask questions and collect information, so we have been using different concepts to help us practice these skills.
Science: How do magnets work?
We collected information about what we knew about magnets and generated questions to find out more:
Ximena explained about how magnets work by creating a magnetic current that attracts electrons pointing the same way or repels electrons pointing in the opposite way. We were curious about how different a materials would behave with magnets so carried out experiments and tested different materials.
This is what we found out:
History: Our Place
In addition to our learning about Te Whetūkairangi Pa site, we have been inquiring into what happened to Aotearoa, specifically our schools site after British arrival. We looked at a range of historical sources which showed us that a man named James Worser Hebley lived in what is now Worser Bay, and named the area after himself!
You can see the historical property he lived in from the look out by our school. Here's a picture of us having a look.
The farm that occupied our schools site was called Watt's Farm. We created images of what we thought this farm would have looked like.
