Term 3 Inquiry

We have started Term 3 by immersing ourselves into our new topic 'New Zealand native animals and plants'. Our big idea for this term is

Native animals and plants are unique to New Zealand.

We have been writing down our questions and wonderings about our native animals and plants. Further, we visited the South Canterbury Museum in Timaru with its excellent exhibition 'Cold blooded locals'. The children learnt many new things about skinks and geckos.
Watch this space as the children report on their inquiry.
