Why do we need to be sun safe?

Our new inquiry topic is about why we need to be sun safe. A lot of us knew what to do in order to be sun safe, but not many people knew WHY! Check out the Inquiry topic tab at the top of the page for more information, websites and videos about being sun safe. Here is a short song about being sun safe. Comment about what you have learned from the video.

Safe2School Day slideshow

We have started using Google Slideshow in our class.  We are learning how to collaborate on the same slideshow.

Miss Bolton asked us to write two sentences about the Safe2School Day we had at Paerata.  We had to write an introductory sentence and a sentence saying what our favourite part of the day was and why.

How do you think we did?
