Thank you so much to everyone who came to our Tautoru celebration of Learning this week. It was so exciting for our tamariki to share all of our learning from the year so far with their whānau. Thanks as well for the shared kai. Your children loved enjoying it again on Thursday. Here are the highlights if you couldn't make it.
Ko wai tō ingoa?
In Term 1 we conducted a study of the origins of our names. It is so special to know where our names came from and the Mana they carry. Thank you to the parents who helped provide information for this.
World Map
Alongside with our names we investigated our whānau origins. We found out that as a class whānau we cover a lot of the world. We placed our connections on a world map.
Neighbourhoods
As term 1 progressed our inquiry shifted from who We are, to where do all creatures live? Our learning shifted naturally to a focus on habitats. We learnt that creatures occupy certain areas were they have the best chances of survival. We created our own houses and dream neighbourhood habitats, fitting for what our homes represented.
Project Garden
We then progressed to thinking about our Worser Bay School habitat. Being an enviroschool, planting is very important to us and we want to make sure our gardens are a place were plants have the best chance of survival. We learnt about the five things plants need to survive, and repotted the Tautoru garden to make sure all five of these conditions were present. To top this off we created individual gardens, with mini houses and cress seeds.
Check out these photos of our celebration of learning. We had a blast and hope to see you at the next one!
