WAI MAORI'S FISH TANK

The learners in Wai Maori are still making connections to their last term's big idea of 'sustainability'. During iExplore this week, all the learners were actively engaged in the 'Rainbow Fish' story. After unpacking the message behind the story with the learners, we decided to create a Wai Maori fish tank. Throughout the week, we discussed and identified the needs of a healthy fish tank and the types of sea creatures living in it.

Week 3

BOAT COMPETITION:

During iExplore this week, Wai Maori had a boat competition. The learners used various materials around habitat to create their design. The judges were looking for 3 different types of boats; biggest, fastest and colourful.  

I made a colour boat with these fun stencils. 

"My colourful boat has a special windmill."

We collaborated together
 and made a submarine boat!  

"This is my canoe boat!" 

I made an origami boat
and it floats too!!

Week 2

Wai Maori Performance

As part of our Inquiry during iExplore, the learners from Wai Maori habitat, shared a school wide performance to raise awareness about the effects of Global Warming. They sang a song about the melting ice in Antarctica and talked about how they made different rubbish bins for different types of rubbish.
