Our Inquiry

We have started our class inquiry. Our starting words were "Earth, Water and Fire"
As a class we talked about all of these words and what we thought of when these words were said. Here are some of our fantastic ideas:

• They are elements
• Earth is a rock
• Lots of water can cause a flood
• Earthquakes happen on Earth

And much much more...

From our brainstorm we started to talk about our world. Yolanda asked "why do people do bad things to our world?" This amazing question started a discussion in our class. We talked about what people are doing to our world. We really enjoyed this discussion and decided as a class that this would become our main inquiry question! To get us thinking more about our world we looked at video clips on you tube. We then used our coloured thinking hats to discuss how we felt and what we could do to stop the things that are happening in our world...

Come into our class and look at our inquiry wall to see our 'thinking hat' thinking.

Room 2

Term One

Welcome to Room 2's blog!

Term 1 is already well underway and in our class we have been doing lots of co-operative games. These games have been encouraging us to work together as a class.

One of the games we played was hoop hop! As a team we had to use our hoops to get from one point to the other... we were not allowed to set outside the hoop or we would have been eaten by sharks ek!

The other game we played was bucket race. As a class we had to pass cups down the line and fill up the empty bucket. We had do much fun!

When we are playing games as a class we need to:

Work together

Encourage each other

Talk nicely to each other
Help others
