Room 1's Inquiry Sharing.

Here are some photos of Room 1's contribution to the very exciting Inquiry Sharing afternoon at the end of Term 3. Many students completed their first inquiry presentation and all were able to show off their learning about Toys and Pastimes; Past, Present and Future.

We started the unit with ideas about what we did for fun in the holidays.

One of the books that helped provide ideas and motivation to learn about all those interesting pastimes.

A collection of the latest writing that Room 1 have published.

 Room 1 read Charlottes Web and produced a stick puppet show of the characters and setting.

Lantern Making

With the recent Whangarei Festival of Light and Art (FOLA) on at The Quarry Arts Centre, Rust Ave, the children from Rooms 1 and 2 created their own lanterns.
The process involved careful work with plenty of patience and cooperation. Both classes worked together and as you can see from the photos the children worked well in creating lanterns using the materials on hand.
