Our Botanic Garden reflection

After our trip to the Auckland Botanic Gardens I gave the children the option of using the ipad to record themselves sharing what they learned and/or a question they would like the answer to.  They were able to do this when they had some spare time and had completed their set work. This is the first time they have used the ipad to record themselves and here is a video of the results. 

Now our challenge is to answer some of these questions.  Share your ideas about how we could find the answers by leaving a comment.

Botanic Gardens

On Tuesday we went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens.  We were very lucky to have wonderful weather and we had a great time exploring the gardens and learning about plants.

Take a look at our slideshow, most of the pictures are taken by A3 children and a few by Miss Mac.

Here is Kobi, Edrin and Krishicant reading the stories they wrote about the trip

Exploring plants

We are going on a trip to the Auckland Botanic Gardens next week.  As part of this we went outside with a partner and took photos of all the different plants around the school.  Have a look at these amazing photos.
