Room 5 Explorers

In Room 5 we are Explorers. Today we investigated how to make 1000ml or 1L as well as how many cups fit into a bowl and how many ml are in 1 cup. This is part of our current focus on Measurement.

In Room 5 we are Contributors. We discussed our ideas and thought about them and shared them to the group, we had lots of good estimates or 'thinking guesses'.

In Room 5 we are Connectors. We worked together in our groups with a partner to investigate our questions.

Plastic

In Room 5 some of the reading groups are learning about plastic waste and how we can reduce it. We are learning about the history of plastic as well as the need for change. We are creating innovative alternatives to plastic in class. This is inquiry "Action" from our last unit focus last term.

Students are independently planning their own Expert presentations to teach others about this issue that they are super passionate about. Stay tuned for more updates.

This is the website we are using for our Reading Inquiry https://www.natgeokids.com/nz/?s=plastic
