Planning our own trips... Our visit to the rock pools

We are searching around in Princess Bay

Our group planned our own trip. We wanted to go to the rock pools at Princess Bay and Breaker Bay. We went there because we are thinking about the rocky shore in our inquiry. We saw fish and seaweed. We saw seaweed that looked a bit like a seahorse.

A big thank you to Jackie for taking us on the trip.

This is a group filming for "if you learned here"

We are involved in a global collaboration project called, "If you learned here." We are currently making a movie about Worser Bay School to introduce ourselves to the other schools around the world. You can see the 2016 videos here: https://blog.seesaw.me/ifyoulearnedhere2016/

Our seasons art

We are learning about change. We know that some tress change in the different seasons. Here is some of our seasons art:

This is a tree that has snow, blossoms, red flowers and leaves falling when the seasons change.

One season is very close and that is autumn because it's the end of summer.

My painting shows fall, winter, spring and summer during the seasons.

Treasure Hunt

Today we did a treasure hunt in maths. We were learning about coordinates. To get the right coordinate you need to go down the corridor and up the stairs.

We had a map of the school with coordinates on it.

We had to find things on the map and write down the coordinates. For example, we had to write down the coordinates for Tautoru, a tree that we like and a flax plant.

We also played some coordinate games on the computer (here is the link:
