Good stuff Room 16!!

Define Map on Transport

Today we talked about things that we felt were relevant to the topic of Transport, and things that we thought weren't. Then using post-it notes we put our ideas into a 'define map'... only problem was we struggled to get the post-its to stick properly to the whiteboard.

Fun with wheels

Friday afternoon was really cool because we got to ride scooters, bikes and skateboards - and in school time too! 
It was all part of introducing our exciting new Inquiry topic on 'Transport'.  
We were also lucky enough to have a visit from Eleanor - that's the name of Cory's very sweet 56 Chevy.  Cory's mum brought her along so that the kids could have a look at her and she told us all sorts of interesting facts as well.  Mr Hayward thought it was a shame some of the dads weren't there to check the car out. 
So a good day was had by all; and we're looking forward to doing lots of learning about this topic for the rest of Term 3!!
