Our School Environment

Picture by Olivia B

This week the children in Room 8 have been mapping our school grounds. The children have noted where we have trees, the areas of our school that are quiet and where they have the most fun. This was an interesting task for the children to walk around and explore their environment.

The most interesting area is the playground.
The noisy area of school is by Room 1,2,3 and 9. (The court area)
You can have the most fun playing at the back of the field, playing in and with the grass.

The quiet area of school is in the hall.
The noisy area of the school if the court and playground.
The area for fun is the field.
The peaceful and comfortable area of our school is the classrooms.

This morning we talked about our environment and the children went on many tangents. They were interested in New Zealands past and how the country use to look, volcanoes in New Zealand and the great kauri tree Tane Mahuta.

Parents, if your children have 100 questions for you, please share your answers.
