One inquiry unit our class explored was 'Sharing the Planet'. A scenario was set that the children in Room 1 had to discover a resource that was depleting itself. This resource happened to be water. Brady and Thomas explored the line of inquiry of 'Water is a finite resource', and created this show to demonstrate their knowledge.

Suter Art Gallery
On the 30th of June our class went to the Suter Art Gallery to see an exhibition.
The exhibition was about some creatures in the world that people hate.
We talked about some of them and why people hate them.
At the exhibition I felt amazed.
After we talked about some of the creatures that people hate we got some pictures and went into the theatre and made birds out of clay.
Then after we had finished making the birds we left them there to be put in an oven so they could harden.

Totara Trading
Sometimes, on a Friday at Central School, the Totora Syndicate has a trading day called Totora trading, where you have fake 'Totora' dollars (a bit like funny money). You can buy and sell toys, food and raffle tickets for raffles. People can earn Totora dollars by: following instructions, doing work when you're supposed to, etc, etc. Well, you get the idea of what you do. Personally I think Totora Trading is fun because you can bring in toys, sell them and then buy a new toy. Totora Trading is on a Friday from 12:00 to 12:30 (I think!) ,but sometimes it's cancelled or Top 20 is on. Totora Trading rocks!
AsTTle Writing - Elliot
At the start of the term we began the topic 'It's Not an Even Playing Field'
In this we were going to learn about Human Rights in countries that we were going to choose from a list.
My group, (Elliot, Julia, Max) choose Somalia in Africa.
We started researching Somalia. We found some very good information about the war with Ethiopia, the Somaliland and Puntland separation from the main country of Somalia, and a very good timeline about the main events in Somalia on the Internet.
After the research we wrote down or printed out the info we had found, highlighting key words and looking up words that we did not understand.
Soon after this we will be turning the info we have into a slide show or movie-maker file on Human Rights in Somalia.
Also, I was shocked with situation of Human Rights in Somalia and in many other places like Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, China, Japan, Mongolia, Burma, Nepal, Pakistan,
Northern Russia and many more places that have a very poor standard of human rights.
So I think that we should all do something to help the situation in the world today because no matter if it's in the playground or in the trenches of WW1,
You can still do something to help and support.
