Milky Way Inquiry

Milky Way undertook an inquiry in pairs for Story. They formulated a question they wanted to research about story. They used information from books, internet and interviewed children in our class to find the answer to their question. They decided how they would like to present their research to the class.
This is Sam and Isaac's Inquiry on Ross Kinnaird


Myths and Legends

We looked at various Maori Myths and Legends. As a class we retold the legend of our local maunga Parahaki. In pairs we illustrated parts of the legend in kidpix. We then made a podcast and everyone had a part of the story they retold.
