Today we began our term 2 inquiry. We are learning about where we fit into the world. We have started by talking about towns and cities in New Zealand - we could name lots of towns and cities in our own country. We did find it a little tricky to show where they are on a blank map of NZ.
Here we are playing a simplified version of 'The Amazing Moa Hunt' as a class to help us learn where the towns and cities we know of are located in New Zealand. We were in two teams (boys vs girls) and we had to take a NZ town/city card off the pile and discuss as a team where we thought that town or city was in New Zealand if we got it right we got to keep the icon. The girls team got 6 icons and the boys got 4 icons today.
Kids - Next time you are on a long car trip maybe you could take a road map with you so you can follow your journey and see which towns or cities you will be travelling through and tell mum or dad which town will be coming up next!
Also if anyone has any old New Zealand road maps or city maps that they don't need anymore we would love to use them in Room 3 to continue to grow our understanding and knowledge of our country
