Using de Bono Thinking Hats for our Celebration Day Reflection

Our Inquiry this year has been preparing products and signs and sustainability ideas for our school Celebration Day.  The students worked extremely hard to create Tote Bags to sell in Hauraki and they were very successful, selling nearly all of the 85 available to sell. After the event we used deBono thinking hats to reflect on all that we did.  The Year 4 students also got to create a bag as well as grow plants from seeds and reflect on these. Their slideshows and explanations are below.

Summer Blogging Programme

Well we have been remiss again at putting our work on our class blog. AND we have done sooooo much this term too! The Hauraki student blogs have lots of work posted onto them so be sure to check them out. there are photos of Inquiry work and our Celebration Day Gala.
Over the summer break all of Te Waka Ako are registered to take part in the Summer Blogging programme. This programme allows students to enter work onto their blogs from a programme set up by Auckland University.  They gain points for blogs of work they post and for comments they make on other peoples' work. After 4 weeks the tally is made and the 3 top students get a prize pack of lots of goodies.
Today we experimented with old activities from past seasons. Keep an eye out for their summer learning!!
