We have not slowed down in Tautoru after our amazing (if we do say so ourselves!) Arts Celebration performance. We have turned our attention for the remainder of the term to the Deep Seas.
Our Oceans are consist of many zones. Check out this picture:
We have been focusing on the midnight zone and below. From the midnight zone downward there isn't get really any light at all, and the creatures who live there have adapted to survive in this unique environment. They look and act differently to those higher up in the oceans.
We have been looking at an amazing magazine called the Deep Seas by the Kiwi Conservation Club (https://kcc.org.nz/). It has great resources that we've been 'diving' into. Using magazines as our main source of learning has been a great opportunity to amplify this amazing, physical source of media. Our focus on written text is also helping our students make the shift learning to read to reading to learn. An important lifelong skill.
Here are some of the amazing resources we have made to show our learning so far, ka pai Tautoru tamariki!
