Ignition Day - Term Two
On the first Monday of term two the middle school had an ignition morning in the hall to introduce the children to the term concept - Sustainability.
On the left you can see we had a poster with all the children's prior knowledge - ideas - about what they thought sustainability is.
The children listen carefully to the opening video and the introduction by some of the teachers, including Mrs Nieuwboer.
Mrs Nieuwboer comes up to the front to speak as Mrs Waititi and Miss James assist with the preparations in the background.
Each teacher or teacher aide monitored one activity where the idea of sustaining something was explored.
Miss James pasted up children's attempts to cut up a piece of paper into the longest unbroken strip.
Mrs Waititi tested children's ability to sustain the flight of a feather by blowing it from a line.
The children moved around to the different activities and there was a little singing and dancing.
Mr Bach was timing how long children could sustain keeping there eyes open and not blinking. The best children got up to 2 minutes without flinching.
Some of the children's illustrations and ideas about what they thought sustainability meant or was about.
