Electricity Home Learning

Have a bit of fun building and growing a virtual city on www.electrocity.co.nz.  Learn about using natural resources to help grow your city while also changing the environment. Use the code MJ33781

at the end of your game to save it. Record your final score below after 150 turns! See if you can better Mrs Johnson's score of 81. Make sure you keep your environment points at 25!  You can search the finished cities using Te Totara in the school space to see how your class mates are going, and what Mr Jordan's class did last week.  (Unfortunately not able to be played on iPads)

Sustainability

Can we continue to do what we are doing and still SUSTAIN the land, water, energy resources, climate, and health of the planet for many more generations to come??

This term we are learning about the exciting topic of ecological sustainability, in terms of our local surroundings, resources and the planet.  We will be looking at topics including deforestation, the water cycle and rubbish.  Do you know anything about sustainability or acting sustainably? Talk with your friends and family about what sustainability means to you.  What could you be doing to help the sustainability of the local area? Share on the blog what sustainability means to you and anything that you might already be doing that might be considered a sustainable action.

Matariki

Matariki is a time for remembering those who have passed, planting new crops and celebrating new beginnings.  Sharing a meal is an important part of these celebrations. On Wednesday we are going to have a Matariki day in the Marama pod, celebrating with our friends, including having a healthy shared lunch.  As we learn about the Matariki celebrations, it would be wonderful to hear about some of the celebrations you participate in at home.  Share below a celebration your family participates in and any traditions you may have associated with that celebration.  Remember to comment in full sentences and sign off with your name.

Our Waiata

We are going to Kirikiriroa Marae on Thursday to experience being part of a powhiri and learn about the different areas of the marae.  We will also get to do some fun activities like learning how to use  the maori rakau weapon.  Make sure you practice these waiata at home so you are super confident when we sing them at the marae during the powhiri!
