Wrapping up Term 1

Who am I?  Where to I belong?

As part of our inquiry learning last term we were learning about where we are in the world.  

We quickly looked at Japan, Samoa, Ireland, Australia and then New Zealand.  

We talked about what made us 'Kiwis' and our customs and culture different to other countries.

Or next step was to look at where we are in New Zealand and what was significant about Whanganui and Upokongaro.

Our learning lead us in the direction of the water cycle and this was linked to our Mountain, River and sea.

To wrap up our learning at the end of the term we went for a trip along the Whanganui River to understand how the river flowed to the sea.

Here are the photos of our trip!

Here we are on the railway bridge crossing the river.

We looked down on the river and talked about how big it was.

We climbed the Durie Hill tower and saw the river and mountains.

 We ended up at the beach and played in the sand.

What a super day!
