We found out what makes a good citizen and what I do to make it easier to fit into my different communities. We found that many qualities are needed for all groups. We made a life sized collage of a good citizen. It is HUGE! We labelled it with qualities of a good citizen.
After camp the year 4 students showed the Year 3s all the photos of what they did and decided which ones required teamwork and what ones they did on their own. They created questions using the question dice. It was an interesting discussion to find out how many can make up a team for teamwork to happen.
Mr Bloomer worked through the problems a community faces in a natural disaster like Cyclone Pam. We filled in a cause and effect graphic organiser to show what happens in a cyclone. We decided to take action by creating shoe box rescue /relief packages for the families in Vanuatu. Many suggestions were made for what would be needed in their situation. We talked to Tori's Mum who was in the paper. She was part of Gemco's relief aid team sending supplies to Vanuatu. We collected boxes of items that have been sent away to Vanuatu to help.
Tori showed us photos of where her family stayed in Vanuatu in February and photos of the SAME places after the cyclone had hit! Wow! What a mess! The class had lots of questions as a result of this.
We have decided to take action by helping out at Stoney Creek Ranch by providing service to the community. We used the question matrix to help us form good questions. We use question cubes to help us too. We used multiple circles in a Venn diagram to show who in our community has qualities in common. Our class still have lots of questions to find answers to, so term 2 will be busy!
