Young Ocean Explorers Fact Files!
Young Ocean Explorers Fact Files!
We proudly presented our marine animal themed box at the Duffy Book Assembly today.
We are going to recycle the artworks, by designing a wall display for our classroom.
Today's task is research-based. We are going to design a fact file about the animal of our choice.
To achieve success:
we have included three-four general facts about our animal. This could include ideas about the animals' diet, their habitat, their appearance or their life cycle.
we have explained WHERE our animal is found, in New Zealand and around our world.
we have explained HOW the animals have been affected by human impact on the environment.
We have explained HOW we, as kaitiaki, can do our part to protect these animals in the wild.
In Room 8, we have been learning about the Hauraki Gulf, a very special part of our backyard. We have been exploring our value of kaitiakitanga; reflecting on what special places we have in our backyard, and what we should do as kaitiaki to protect and preserve them.
