OUR NEW TOPIC INQUIRY "SCIENCE"



OUR NEW TOPIC INQUIRY "SCIENCE"

This week Room began their journey of learning about the wonderful world of science. Our first step was to identify what we know about science and what we would like to know more about science. We decided as a class to create mind maps to show the beginning journey of our new found knowledge. Room 1 will be focusing on chemical reaction and change. We promise not to blow the school up. As a class we understand that science is not all about explosions and experiments it is really important to know about observations and being able to write as a scientist. This is a goal we hope we can successfully complete.

Room 1 singing a beautiful Niuean song "Sipaio"

"SIPAIO" As the Room 1 teacher, I am extremely proud of the commitment and respect of the students in Room 1. They have thoroughly enjoyed learning about my Niuean culture.

"Sipaio" is a fun vibrant song that translates to the movement of ones body when singing this vibrant song.  https://youtu.be/ZL7ig8fba1A Please visit this link and listen to the beautiful voices of Room 1 .
