Student Led Conferences

Term 3 Week 1.

Shout out to Room 12 for doing such an unreal job on their tri-folds that related to an experiment they conducted in Term 2. Below are some of the finished products that we've worked on in class the past couple of days of Term 3 Week 1.

 
 

Sand and Salt Separation

Our experiment on sand and salt separation. With lots of discussion, we figured out that putting water in the mixture to melt the salt would be good first. After that we heated the salt mixture in a pan and then evaporated the water to get our salt back. Lots of fun!!!

Filling in Manaiakalani Learner Questionnaire

Whole class got involved in with Ms. Collins to fill in the Learner Survey from Manaiakalani.

Mr. Raj's Digital Footprint

ANZAC DAY Art

After reading about ANZAC, students were really into representing their understanding about it using art. They had a clear understanding why ANZAC has a special place in New Zealand calendar.

Launching our Inquiry for Term 2 - Science

Introducing the wow factor on day one. Students got to view the model of our solar system and how planets move around, how big or small they are, the order away from the Sun. They had lots of questions to ask and this hopefully forms their journey to exploring our solar system. Well done Room 12!

Visit to Tahuna Torea Resrve

After reading Life in an Estuary, the students decided to visit the local reserve to learn more about mangrove and how the filtered waste water finds its way to the sea. It was a FUN day for the reading group.
