We learnt about the different sections in the supermarket and we also bought a fruit or vegetable that had a lot of the vitamin or mineral that we are learning about. We had a lot of fun!

Vitamins and Minerals

For our inquiry, we have been learning about what makes fruit and vegetables good for us. We have been learning about some vitamins and minerals. We are all in different groups and each group has been learning about one vitamin or mineral. 

Our groups are: Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin C and Calcium.

We have been learning about each of our vitamins/mineral and finding out which fruit or vegetable has a lot of our vitamin/mineral.

Creek Posters

We have been learning about responsibilities and we have responsibilities at home and at school and also in the world. This is things like looking after the environment.

We need to look after the creek and after all the rubbish we picked up, Room 2 thought about how we could help other people to not throw their rubbish in the creek. We decided we would make posters.

We drew nice pictures of the creek that we went over with vivid. We coloured our pictures in with pastels then went over them with dye.

Creek Visit

This term our Inquiry is Te Taiao o Tamaki which means The Environment of Tamaki. We have been learning about the environment. The evironment is everything around us. This week we went to our local creek with our buddy class.

We saw lots of different things and our buddies looked after us and told us about pollution, which is when things that are not good for the environment is in the environment. We walked around the creek and talked about things we could see, hear, feel and smell. We also saw some rubbish and Miss Park found a driver's licence! We decided to come back and pick up some rubbish next time.

We have been writing recounts for writing and we wrote about our creek visit. Here is some of our recounts about going to the creek.
