Room 30 MVS 2019

Our inquiry for term 2 is Sustainability and Kaitiakitanga, looking after our world and being guardians of our environment. Steve Hathaway from Young Ocean Explorers came and spoke to all classes in week 1, and his key point was doing our part to ensure that our rubbish does not end up in the ocean, where it is a threat to sea life.  Any rubbish that does not go in a bin will eventually end up in the sea. Room 30 were challenged by his presentation, and we decided to go out into our school and pick up as much rubbish as we could find, then count it to see how much we are not getting into our rubbish bins.  Students made a guess before we went of how much rubbish they predicted we would find. The highest number guessed was 100 and we hoped that would not be the closest, but unfortunately it was.  We picked up almost 150 pieces of rubbish and that was before morning tea. Our next challenge is to make some posters for sustainability, and to hopefully make a change in our class, ou

During the last four weeks of term 1 we were really lucky to have four sessions with Jordan, a development coach from Breakers Basketball. Jordan took the class through some techniques of dribbling and shooting a basketball, and some of the fun games you can play using basketballs. Room 30 really enjoyed their sessions with Jordan and the basketball players in our class picked up some great tips.
