An Amorangi and Millie Adventure
Step into the shadows of the ancient canopy in Rimu: The Tree of Time. This isn't just a story about nature; it’s a journey through centuries of forgotten history, seen through the eyes of a silent sentinel who remembers everything we’ve chosen to forget.
If you've ever wondered what the earth would say if it finally found its voice, you need to hear this tale.
We’re checking out the text "New Zealand at War" to get a real look at what happened during one of the biggest parts of our history. It’s not just about old dates and facts; it’s about the actual people and stories that helped make New Zealand what it is today.
Our Learning Goal: We are working on our local comprehension skills.
What does that actually mean? Instead of just looking at the "big picture," we are zooming in! Our goal is to:
Pick out specific details and facts from the sentences.
Figure out exactly what certain words or phrases mean in the story.
Show that we can find the right information exactly where it’s hidden in the text.
Basically, we’re becoming "text detectives" to make sure we understand the small details before we look at the whole story!
In this activity, you will explore the history and structure of the Anzac recipe. You will read a set of instructions and answer questions to understand how to write your own clear, step-by-step procedures.
Make a copy of this ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt (don't forget to put your initials before naming the Google Slide).
Save the ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt in your Inquiry folder in your drive.
We will go over the ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt together as a class before you get started on the work.
Make a copy of this ANZAC Day Webquest (don't forget to put your initials before naming the Google Slide).
Save the ANZAC Day Google Slide deck in your Inquiry folder in your drive.
We will go over each slide together as a class before you get started on the work.
Our journey connects ANZAC Day with Matariki/Puanga through the power of remembrance. The star Pōhutukawa acts as our bridge: just as we say "Lest We Forget" for our soldiers, we use Maumaharatanga to honor those who have passed.
Together, we will explore what each star symbolises for our future.
Ever looked up at a rainstorm and wondered how all that water actually got up there? While the short answer is "the clouds," the real story involves a continuous journey between the earth and the sky known as the water cycle.
In this activity, you’ll get a front-row seat to this process. By creating a miniature model inside a plastic bag, you will investigate the specific forces that move water in and out of our atmosphere.
Evaporation: How water transforms into vapor.
Condensation: How clouds (and droplets) form.
Precipitation: How water eventually returns to the surface.
Are you ready to see the water cycle in action?
