Unisons Greatest Supporter

Siobhan in our class is Unisons greatest supporter for September. For this she has to complete three tasks. Task One was to draw a picture about the dangers of power lines and power boxes. Task Two was to play the What Numbers game on the Unison website. Task Three was to hand out as many Unison magnets as she can. She has given a magnet to everyone in our class, and people in our class have heard her Unisons greatest supporters ad on four different radio stations.
Well done Siobhan !

Tom and Finley have worked very hard to make this master piece during a long seven weeks of learning and researching about parks, reserves and a little bit about gardens. They both put in a lot of collaboration, critical thinking and they also communicated with their ideas. Well done.

The Ranfurly shield

Te Mata School were really lucky to have one of the magpie players bring the Ranfurly Shield to our school. Lots of people came with their iPads to have their photo taken. Some people were saying ' we touched victory' I agree with that.

Inquiry

If you haven't been into our classroom, you might be wondering what our inquiry is for this term.
Our big question is "As a community, how do we understand and care for our environment."
We've split into two groups. One group is studying gardens and parks while the others are looking at how we can improve the area behind our room. We will present what we have done on the open day in Week Nine. All parents are welcome to come.
Anja and Ella are going to plan a mural, Holly, Amelia and Phoebe are looking at what plants could be good, Bronson, Luka, Joe, Emily and Matthew want to find out what playground equipment would be suitable and Josh and George are working out the safety regulations on it. Cormac wants to incorporate a natural play ground. Ben and Keely are looking at what the kids use the area for and are making a map. Wish us luck!
