Did you know that the greater Auckland region is currently facing water restrictions? As part of our reading programme, we have been exploring water, the way we use water and what happens in droughts. We started by sharing what we already know to our class padlet.
This week we investigated these water saving tips. Our challenge was to classify the tips. We had to decide if each idea was something that we understood and could do or something that we would need to find out more about. Once the sorting was finished, we connected to one tip and described how we could make this work.
The water restrictions also mean that the use of outdoor hoses is banned. To bring all of our learning together we had a creative session. Our challenge was to design and create a device that we could use to collect rainwater and use in our class watering can. You can see our creative class members in action below.
Thank you Kaiwhare. This is a clear presentation of your learning and findings. You have given me some good tips on being water wise. And thank you for reminding me to do my part to save water, it is indeed precious. Tino pai.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sally. We really appreciate your comment on our blog. We are happy to hear the tips helped you out too. I wonder, what is the most important water saving tip that you will connect to?
