In term one we learnt about 'Personal Change'. We looked at the way we have changed over our time at Grey Lynn School. We talked about physical and emotional change, how to create change within ourselves and we set goals about the change we would like to see happen.
In term two we learnt about 'Changemakers'. We studied people who have created change in the world, the reason why they were motivated to create the change and how they went about achieving it. There are lots of inspirational changemakers out there; Kate Sheppard, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King.....just to name a few!
In term three we looked at 'Historical Change' which tied in very nicely with our school centinennal celebrations. We focussed on the causes and effects of World War Two and the change it created around the globe. We did an amazingly moving performance at out school production related to the loss and devastation created by the war, that left a tear in many of the audience's eyes.....
This term, our last term at Grey Lynn School for most of us, we are learning about 'Chemical Change' and will be investigating the way substances change during the bread making process. Yum!
2010 has also had other highlights, Aloha Night, camp (what fun!), ETOC Week for the Year 5's, Inner City sport, Kapa Haka and heaps more.
Over the coming weeks we hope to showcase the best of our work this year for you all to see.
Enjoy.
Wow! It sounds like you have been doing HEAPS of learning.... What a cool class
