Zach headed outside with Petra and Boss to complete some
of his learning tasks in the sunshine. Tu meke Zach!
Zach’s probability task
Zach’s observation, he recorded what he could see and hear.
Zach was so inspired by his learning tasks that he
decided to do a bit of independent learning, watch
the videos of Zach learning from a BBC
documentary.
Elias discovered a great resource
he has at home to help him learn
more about the creatures he found
in his garden when he did his
observation.
Elias worked on his observation task and his probability task,
he made connections between them.
probability:

1. find a moa: impossible

2. see a spider:likely

3.find a leaf:certain

4. get wet from rain:even chance

Sam’s observation task
5. spot a kiwi:imposeble

6.see a insect:certain
Sam emailed his probability
task to Allison.

a tree finding

surfaces to do
rubbings on.

Hafez is very proud of how tall his plant has grown!
Elias completed the heads and tails probability task, what can you say about his discovery?
Zach also completed the heads and tails probability task, what can you say about his discovery?
Elias watched Dianne’s videos and wrote down his
questions.
Hmmm … I wonder how bees DO find their way home?
I think that would be a great question to research.
What questions did YOU come up with?
Elias imagined he was an ant and drew what he thought his garden might look like.
What would your garden look like to an ant?
Zach was inspired by Dianne’s bee
drawing video to draw his own bee.
Trying drawing your own bee, you
could even label the different body
parts.

Yuna used pastels to create this piece of
art.

Can you see the textures she created on

the tree?

She used black to create silhouettes of

two children.

The contrast of the silhouettes and the

colourful tree and balloon make this an
interesting piece to look at!
Here is another artwork by Yuna.

What medium do you think she used to create it?
