Inquiry Learning

This year for our inquiry learning we are focusing on the past, present and where to next?

We have started discussing New Zealand's past and what it was like to live here in the past.

Room 6 came up with some great ideas and we grouped ourselves together to find out more.
We noticed from our National Library books that life looked very different in the photos and news articles we saw.

Then we checked out what our lives look like in comparison. Again we split into groups and helped each other learn more about the differences between the past and the present.


Afterwards we arranged them into a Venn diagram as a class and stapled our facts to the wall - have a look at our work below! The facts in the middle fit in the past and the present :)

We also looked at special places around New Zealand and looked at the important buildings you can see on Auckland's skyline. We linked our art into our inquiry and created a silhouette with the tall buildings and the Sky Tower, and used texture and hot or cold colours for the sky!
