Our Inquiry 'Out and About'

















We did a brainstorm of places we could go in Hamilton. 
We can go on the bus for a small cost to get us to the places we would like to visit.
 Here is our mind map of places we could go -















 
We talked about places we could go that were free - these were places we could go to on the bus  - we found out that the park at Claudelands would be fun because we could play, have a picnic and have a ride on the bus on the way.

Our Term Four Inquiry - 'Out and About in Hamilton'




Our Kowhai Flower Art




Our Class Gardens









The Operetta - A Change is Gonna Come - we are learning what we can change in our world and how to do it.

We performed with Room 2 in the Operetta. We sang and we danced.
We sang about being happy, about sharing, caring and helping others.

Ava said,
"When I was in the Operetta, I  was  wearing a wig.
I was singing lots of songs on the stage  too.
We were singing the ‘Blue Beat’ and  ‘Put a Little Love 
in Your Heart’. We even sang ‘Take the Weather with You’. People were watching me. 
The teachers were watching me. My Mum and dad are going to watch  me. I saw my friends, they saw me too. When I am on the stage, I feel big. I love being on the stage in the Operetta."


 Alexus said,
"It was very dark. I couldn’t see in the dark, but when I saw the lights in the Hall,
I wasn’t scared.
When it’s out turn, I like  singing  ‘If you’re happy and you know it’, 
‘Do the Blue Beat’ and ‘Put a Little  Love in your Heart’."

Eric said,
"I  am  going  to  the  Operetta.
All  the  boys  have  to  wear  a  bow  tie.
We  have  to  do  the  ‘Blue Beat’ and ‘Put  a  Little  Love  in your  Heart’.
We  are  going  to  have  fun.
I  am  going  to  be  shy.
My  Mum  and  Dad  are  going  to  the  Operetta."
