As a start to our Inquiry "Where Does Our Food Really Come from?" Room 3 will be visiting the Alexandra Community Garden on Dunstan Road on Tuesday afternoon 1st March. We will leave school as close to 1:30 as possible and will be back at school in time for Mason's bus. To meet the ratio of adults to children, we need 2 parents to walk with us. Could you please email if you are able to help with this? Please wear sturdy shoes suitable for walking on the Rail Trail.
This is is the first part of the Inquiry which we call 'tuning in'. After this visit we will think about what we already know and what we want to find out, and will learn to use a KWL.
What we Know
We will write questions: What we Want to find out
At the end of all our "finding out", we will complete What we have Learned and then comes the best part of an inquiry where we 'take action'. One thing already suggested by a student is to make a scarecrow for our school garden to keep the birds away. We will need to discuss this with our school enviro group, Mr Yeoman and of course Mrs Brydges and Mrs Adams.
We have taken up the offer of having a small part of the school garden to look after this year, and will be spending time on Wednesday afternoon with Mrs Brydges and Mrs Adams learning about our garden.
Please be sure that if your child has been issued with a hi viz jacket, that they have it at school to wear on this excursion.
