A Busy Productive Time

Students have completed their tree inquiry research work and presented these to the class.

Sana and Mahek researched the Totara tree. Justin and Ratu studied the Pohutukawa tree.

 
 Andy and Alexandra worked independently on their research and the class had loads of questions and learnt from their presentations.

Obsaa and Mohamad worked effectively together to gather information on the Ponga fern.

Amber and Mahnoor created a power point together and presented this to the class.

Mei and Florence created an interesting booklet on the tree they studied. The class now knows lots of interesting information about native New Zealand trees.

The Shoots and Root Systems of Plants

Mrs Parrot is sharing out the plants.      

 Honesemo, Agnes and Manaia are busy learning  about this plant.

 
Mahnoor and Seolina show off a plant.

  Florence and Amber check out the roots of this plant.
            

 Working together and collaborating in small groups, helps everyone to learn. 

        

          Jazmine and Mei are enjoying the work they are doing while these boys are busy too.

  Careful observation is needed during science activities.

Recording information and collecting data is an important aspect of science work. 

Buddy Time

Room 27 and Room 26 have been spending time together, learning, creating and sharing living and non living things. They have created pictures by doing chalk drawings about seeds and things in nature.

Mrs Parrot in Room 27 looks on at the wonderful things people have been drawing.
