On Monday the 15th Tawhai, Manatu, Kowhai and Kanuka went to the Otago Museum. We learnt about forces and got to make predictions and have discussions about force and the catapult.
We loved playing in discovery world! Getting hands on and finding stuff out is a fantastic way for us to learn. We loved the marble run. It gave us some fantastic ideas to create our own.
The giant Moa:
A tarantula!
We found a giant turtle shell. We have been writing explanations about the turtle life cycle.
And we found a gorilla! Our class novel is "The One and Only Ivan" a story about a gorilla in a circus. This is not like the Silverback Gorilla that is in our book though.
We finally went around the museum on a scavenger hunt to find clues. This was so much fun! We went right through the museum and had to really figure out the clues and find the answers inside exhibitions.
The final question was we had to answer with all of our clues was:
How did the Moai from Easter Island get to where they stand?
Only some of us figured it out....
Do you know?
