Silver snakes

One of the Silver Snakes reading tasks yesterday was to use the digital camera to create a song about the book they have been reading. The song had to be short and sharp and include some of the facts they had learnt from the book.

They did a fantastic job for their very first effort.

New Zealand Idol.... watch out! These kids have some serious talent.

Term 3 Inquiry

Our new class inquiry is on clothing and how what we wear reflects our culture.
We started off our unit with a bus stop activity where we agreed and disagreed with different statements about clothing.
Some of the statements included things like:
Everyone should wear the same clothing
Clothing represents who we are as a person

Today we worked in our inquiry groups on different activities. Some of the activities we did were:
Using the thinking keys
Using the computer microscope to look at different items of clothing
Key word searches
Using the internet to search about clothing from around the world.

As a class we completed the spider web activity where we shared facts about clothing

We hope you enjoy our pictures and make sure you come in and see our inquiry journey.
