Symbols and Signs

It has been exciting to see where our inquiry has taken us this term.  We started with symbols of the Olympics and have carried onto New Zealand symbols.  I have enjoyed all the images, pictures and items you have come into the class with.

Thanks to Melita we have been able to write and talk about the large fern frongs..... they were amazing.
We have  sketched them and used the shape as the basis for our print making.








Our inquiry took another little turn when William and Kaylin came into class with some different native New Zealand plants.  In the photos below you can see some of the cuttings that Kaylin got from her grandmothers garden.  I wonder if you are able to find out any of the names of the plants?

    Those amazing fern fronds created a lot of comments in our household. William was amazed when the first frond was taller than me and also taller than Mrs ojala.

    It was quite a sight to see Melita bring it into class. We should have measured it.

    I liked Melita bringing in the amazing, tall, spirally fern frond. It was taller than Mrs Ojala and taller than me. I bet it was taller than my mum too - From Eva
