Breaking News: Rimu students want to learn!

Oh my, today in Rimu there was an air excitement. 

We were given the challenge to go and find out about one of three parts of the Human Body; the Skeleton-Muscular System, the Digestive System & the Circulatory System. 

We had 5 minutes and our challenge was to use the books, information or online research to find a minimum of one fact about one of the areas. 

Gosh, the room was electric. People were frantically reading, googling and getting post-its. Sam was on a mission to have at least five post-its up and his friends weren't far behind. The teachers were passing out post-its like they were the latest iPhones. Students were running left, right and centre ... sticking the post-its onto the board. You could cut the excitement with a knife. 

Pretty soon the board looked like this. (Both colours are information we have learnt).


Once we had shared some of the things we learnt about we started to think about what some questions were that we would want to ask about each area. Hands went up like fireworks on Guy Fawkes night. They were given a few minutes to write down some questions they had. Soon the board was lighting up with green post its.


Can you see all our questions? We have so many. 

What kind of questions do you think you would ask?

We are really excited to be learning about the Human Body. We are now writing some questions for ourselves so we can begin our own personal inquiries. We are so looking forward to finding out more about our chosen area.

    This is a great post! It's good to see that you got some pictures of Rimu Classes questions written on the sticky notes, I also like the way you describe that the hands of the Rimu Class went up like Fireworks on Guy Fawkes night, It really make it interesting for the readers.
