Inquiry Learning - The Kiwi

Inquiry Learning - The Kiwi
The children worked in small groups to find out information about a specific question.  They found information that related to their question about the kiwi and recorded it in note form.

Then the children found a picture that related to their question and put in on pages.  They then created a shape and wrote their question inside.  On the next shape they recorded the information that they found out about their question.

We met Infotective who lives in our school library.  He is so cool!!

We have worked on the Point View School Inquiry Model.  This has involved:

Wondering - building knowledge about the kiwi

Planning - brainstorming and developing quality questions

Investigating - finding information about our questions and making notes

Reflecting - checking to see if we have answered our questions

Taking action - producing a plan by deciding how to communicate our ideas

Sharing - sharing our work with an audience

Here are our posters:

Here we are sharing some of our information.

E-learning - Pages

This week we found out about how to use pages.  The children worked on finding information about the pukeko.  They designed a title for their work and then in groups recorded the information them.  Then they searched for a picture to put on their page.

Pukeko Information

As part of our topic 'Connecting with New Zealand, our Environment' we have been researching information about pukeko.  Enjoy some of the work the children did.

The children worked on laptops using pages. They worked as a group and presented their information.  The children wrote about pukeko and designed a title.  Then they found a picture that fitted with their information.

Enjoy
