Inquiry Learning - Planting Seeds

The children have learning to ask questions as part of our inquiry about being healthy.  Some key questions were "I wonder how asparagus grow?" "I wonder how mushrooms grow out from the ground?"  We decided to plant some pak choi with the children and watch them grow...

Drinking Milk

At school we drink milk each day.  The children look forward to drinking milk.  The milk is supplied by Fonterra.  We store the milk in a nice cold fridge.

Healthy Eating - Our Inquiry learning

In class we have been learning about healthy eating.  We had a focus question that we wanted to find out.  Why are fruit and vegetables good for us? We read information to help us find out the answer.  We then cut out pictures of fruit and vegetables and stuck onto a plate.  We worked with a partner.
