Inquiry Learning

Terracotta Warriors!

During week 3 Mrs Munro came and worked with us. We learnt lots of interesting things about the Terracotta Army. Our task was to convince Mrs Munro that it was worth while visiting the Terracotta Army and then plan her a trip from Auckland to Xian, China.

Fish

On the last day of Term 2 my dad (John) came into Room 21 and set up a filter so we could have some fish. He also put in some weed and even a little sign which he put in the fish tank that red NO FISHING! He said we had to keep the filter going over the holidays and then on the first day of Term 3 he would bring some fish into school so we could have them for are class room. So on the first day of term 3 he brought in some fish. In the morning while I was getting dressed ready for school my dad got them ready. He put them in a big bucket with water in it (of course) and got some fish food as well. When we got to school we took the fish and all of the other stuff out of the car and took it down to the class room. My dad tipped the bucket over the tank so the fish fell in. Then the bell rang and people started to come into the class room. Everyone was looking at the fish and we soon came up with some names: Bubbles, Fred, Charlie, Bob, Nemo and George.

Every week there is a new person from Room 21 that feeds them.

Speeches

We have fffiiiinaly started speeches (yyyyaaaaayyyy its time for celebration ....celebrate good time come on) anyway it started like 1 and a half weeks ago and they are sooooooooo good, well at least some of them are and some of them are very funny: joke: why did the orange stop rolling down the hill? Because it ran out of juice!!!!!! Hey why do gorrilas have big nostrils? Because they have big fingers!!!!!!!!!! Why did the robber have a shower? Because it wanted to get a clean getaway!!!!!! Anyway moving on. Everybody in each class did a speech it was a very hard desision but we finally chose the 2 people for the semi finals. The semi finals were on the 4th of August and there were a lot of very good speeches but only some could go through I (Harry) know a couple. Rama, Tashil, Nigel, Urvakhsh and some others but keep checking back because the finals are soon!!!!!!
