Week 6 Inquiry Learning: Tuning in day

ROOM 10's TUNING IN DAY!

On Thursday of Week 6 our class and our buddy class Room 7 walked down to Mangati Walkway for our awesome tuning in day. William, Ashley, Tenisha and Casey all worked together to make a scavenger hunt for the buddies that would help them learn more about the plant environment. 

First of all Mrs Gotz and Miss Pickering showed the buddies around Mangati Walkway while William, Ashley ,Tenisha and Casey finished off the clues and making sure they were in the right place.

The first clue they found was around the Doggie Doo
bin. Then they shot off down the walkway for their next clue.It 

was just a few minutes later when a yell was heard, confirming that they had found the next clue. Everyone surrounded the clue site and straight after they shot off again at rapid speed to find the next clue. The same routine happened about 6 times until finally the last clue lead them to Mrs Gotz house next door.

They didn't have first place or any placings at all, they did it to have fun and learn more about the environment. They then had their lunch in Mrs Gotz huge garden. While the others played happily a few boys found the most exciting project ever.

Fixing a broken seat that had been damaged by the Agapantha's. Soon enough they found some tools and nails and started hammering at the seat until it came off. Then they got rid of all of the roots of the destructive Agapantha's and re-built the seat. William, Sam, Ethan and Ashley (Below and Above) were all really proud of their achievement.

After a fun morning and awesome afternoon they headed back to school to discuss what they had learnt on that trip. All in all they had a great time and learnt a lot about the environment for their new topic Let It Grow too!
