Our topic for this term is Kiwiana (learning about Kiwi icons and what it means to us to be a Kiwi)
We started the unit with a brainstorm to see what we already knew about Kiwiana. We followed this up by completing a KWL chart (K=What we Know, what we Want to find out, what we have Learnt). The L part of the chart will obviously be filled out at the end of the unit.
Yesterday (Monday 4th May) we started to redesign the New Zealand national flag and we are still working on these. We are looking forward to completing these and displaying them on the classroom wall and some on here too (hopefully!).
What I have planned for us to cover this term will be mini studies on Kiwi (bird), and a native New Zealand bird of New Zealand of their choice, we will also be completing a mini study on the All Blacks. We are going to use Tony Ryans thinkers key to challenge and deepen our thinking (these are displayed on our classroom wall) on different aspects of Kiwiana.
We are also looking forward to our School Disco on Thursday, our syndicate Trip to the Library and the art gallery, which will be a very exciting trip!
Thats all for now, next update sometime this week
