Inquiry

Last Term our inquiry topic was ‘What makes a Kiwi Inventor?’ Today we presented our Going Further projects to the rest of the class. Some of the ways we presented these were slides and posters. Some even made a prototype of their inventions to support their presentation. It was great to see the time and effort that went into these projects.

George and Flynn looked at Handpieces. 

Courtney told us about the Gold Coast Theme parks. 

Emily showed us her poster on Bungy Jumping.

Hayden telling us about remote control cars.

Inquiry

Our inquiry topic this term is ‘What makes a Kiwi Inventor?’. This week we have been doing some Finding Out and Sorting Out activities. We watched an episode of Let’s Get Inventin’ where Josh made an invention to help him feed out on the farm more easily.

We then spent some time making our own inventions on the Let’s Get Inventin’ App on the iPads. It was really fun and awesome to see all the great ideas everyone came up with. The Middle Room students are very creative! Our next step will be choosing a topic for our individual Going Further projects.
