For our Inquiry, Room 7 has been learning to work in teams. This challenge was to build a tall tower with marshmallows and kebab sticks. Everyone had fun and of course, enjoyed eating some marshmallows. Enjoy our photos.

Our Inquiry topic this term is “A Journey Through Time. We worked in groups to create presentations. This from Jovis, Sharukh and Savelio.
This term we are learning about volcanoes. We began by writing down what we knew. Looked at a video and then added the new things we learnt. We used Padlet to record our thoughts.
Room 7 had fun this week with making a waka challenge. We have been learning about the Tamaki River which is on our doorstep, and wakas would go past for fishing, and travelling from the Hauraki Gulf to to the Manukau Harbour and out to the Tasman Sea. The Maori would portage (carry the waka) across the narrowest part near Otahuhu. Our waka’s floated in the water in the class as we couldn’t go down to the river.
This term we went to the Howick Historical Village to learn about butter making and toys used in the 1800s. Lots of fun was had.

On Tuesday 19 March, the whole school went up the mountain in groups. At the trig station we were very lucky to learn about the archeological findings from hand digging the line to the reservoir like the sharp pipi shells spread from kete to help stop invaders with their bare feet. If we looked hard enough we could see our school. The Waipuna lagoon, Tamaki River and the Sky Tower were easy to spot. We went with Room 6.
