Term 1 Week 7

Week 7 has been a busy week. We traveled by bus to Toitu on Wednesday.
Our ASPIRE topic this term is Turangawaewae which translates to "My place to stand". It's about belonging.
Before Room 5 went on the visit Mr Brew had a world map and got the students to find out where their ancestors came from, and to pace a sticker on that place on the map. He then took that along to Toitu.
Our visit was focused on where people came from and where and how they settled in New Zealand.
Tom was in a group whose task was to research the The immigrants who travelled here by sea.
What ways was information displayed?
What areas were more interesting to look at and what made them more engaging?
His group worked well and enjoyed the visit.
