Education Outside The Classroom 2013

EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM WEEK

Rooms 1, 2 and 3 enjoyed many activities over the past week for their education outside the classroom experiences.

Tuesday we had a teddy bears picnic in the multipurpose room as the weather was a little iffy. We all had fun having morning tea with our teddy bears and our friends while we listened to some great teddy bear stories.

Wednesday we walked up Mount Baldy. We took our morning tea up the mountain and did some sketching of the amazing view from the top. We were lucky with the weather and had an amazing adventure as we had to climb, hike and aviod the cow poo that was all over the ground ewwwww.

Thursday we had a trolly pushing derby. We had to get into groups of 3 and everyone had a turn at pushing their friends around the course and a turn at steering the trolly around the course. We had so much fun and big thanks to Basil for getting the trollys out of his shed. After our trolly derby we built huts with our friends. We had so much stuff to make our huts from such as boxes, tables, blankets and chairs

ROCKY SHORE

Over the past 4 weeks we have being looking at rock pool creatures. We had to group the rock pool creatures by using our imganations. In small groups we had to discuss and share with the class why we grouped our creatures the way we did.

Some interesting ideas we came up with

'we grouped these creatures together because they are slimy looking' - Chloe, Fox, Isabelle and Cheesie. 

'we grouped these creatures together because they all have hard shells' - Reia, Frances-Lily and Charlotte.

'we grouped these creatures together because they all have stinging tentacles' - Hudson, Joshua, Charlie, Jack and Kahu.

 'we grouped these creatures together because they have no eyes but are still able to move around' - Ahina, Cassidy, Brianna and Nellie - May.

'we grouped these creatures together because you can eat these creatures' - Sophie, Amara, Caitlin and Coco.

'we grouped these creatures together because they all have little holes in them' - Ben, Daneka, Ollie and Nils.
