Term 1 Inquiry

For our term one inquiry, Mr Matthews taught us a number of different soccer skills games. We then got into teams and chose one that we wanted to innovate to improve it. After we recorded our new rules we got to teach the rest of the class our new game. It was great fun!

Term 4 Inquiry - Technology

 
My animal is the

Green tree gecko.



What does my animal need in its enclosure?

Water, trees and hay.



What features did I add just for my animal and how are they helpful?

Water for the gecko to drink out of.

Trees for hiding in.

Grass for camouflage.



Did I make any changes and why did I decide to do that?

Yes, I took away the fern and swapped it with a branch with brown leaves because the fern kept falling down. After I put hay in the box instead of grass because the grass got to crunchy. Later on I grabbed some rocks and took away the water because the water went everywhere.
