Topics to do with Exploration
Early Explorers - we acted out the pūrākau (legend) of Kupe and the wheke (octopus). We thought about HOW early early explorers might have found their way, and WHY they went exploring.

Exploring inventions - We looked at the life of Nikola Tesla and his exploration of things to do with electricity and transmission. Many recognised the name Tesla from the cars, so we looked at why the company might be called that. We thought about problems Nikola Tesla faced, and also things that helped him along the way. His Mum sounds like a pretty interesting and creative person!
Some of the children explored making circuits with the brainbox equipment.
How explorers travelled - we investigated modes of transport (ships, waka hourua, aerolpanes, feet etc) and thought about the advantages and disadvantages of each transport method.
Look how advanced waka hourua were.
Tamariki investigated different transport methods and technologies, some looked at current exploration of planets, and some thought of designs for time travel machines.
