Inquiry on Change

Oaklands Primary School students from Year 0-8 have been doing an Inquiry about Change. Our big question was "How can we bring about positive change at Oaklands School?"

We have five syndicates at our school: The Sparkles, Curious Comets, Rising Stars, Shooting Stars and Supernovas. In the Sparkles they have been making sand pit toys, the Curious Comets have been making playground equipment and the Rising Stars have made an outdoor classroom. The Shooting Stars have planted trees for the names of our houses (Miro, Rimu, Kowhai and Rata) they have also made friendship seats, healthy lunches and classroom boardgames

The Supernovas have been making new equipment that could possibly be made on the school field or in other places in the school. We have made models, brochures and we have designed models on the computer as a replica of real life objects using a program called Google Sketch-up.
