In second grade, science is integrated into the homeroom curriculum. We spend time learning about life cycles. A favorite study is the life cycle of the apple tree and we get to go to an apple orchard for the day to pick all kinds of apples! We also study the life cycle of insects. This year, we spent the fall learning about the endangered whooping crane and efforts to establish a new flock of cranes that migrate from Wisconsin to Florida following utlralight airplanes and "costumed" parents. Our class held a fundraiser to help and we raised almost $1000!

In Science, we studied Wetlands and went on a field trip to a local wetland area. There we took samples of pond water and we looked at it under the microscope back in school. We also investigated the life cycle of pond animals.

Our school name was chosen by the owners to honor Frederick Grant Banting, the discoverer of insulin. In Science class they study about the importance of Diabetes and then they share their knowledge with the school community. They contribute by teaching good eating habits.

Terrariums and aquariums put together form our ecotowers. We are studying the plant life in both environments as well as animals - such as crickets, pill bugs, mosquito fish and snails. We are learning how these towers are a model for these real world environments. We use the scientific method to study what changes take place. We are working in cooperative groups for 5-6 students and have 4 ecotowers in our classroom. Why are some healthier than others????

Our school just did a Science Fair. Every student in grades 5-8 took part. Grades K-4 did one classroom submission each. Here is our 3rd grade project. Do cut flowers like cold or warm water better? In our experiment, they liked cold water better because they drank it faster.

We went on a trip to Zealandia. It is a wildlife sanctuary for New Zealand's native wildlife. We learnt about the introduction of pests and how that has affected the food chain. Click on the link to read more...

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today we went to Zealandia. We have been inquiring into what is in our backyards. We found out what New Zealand could be like if there were no pests. Some of us saw things that we haven't seen before e.g. the Takahe and the Tuatara.

Here are some questions to discuss and consider at home:

Nicola hadn't been down the bank yet so we took her on an adventure. We were looking for fauna (especially insects), flora treasure and anything else...

This is what happened:

Brian (a ranger from the council) came in to talk to us about the fauna in our local area.

Brian talked to us about pests. He held up a picture of hedgehogs. Hedgehogs look cute, but they eat lots of our native insects. We are holding insect legs in the picture ( above). Hedgehogs can eat all of these insects in one night.

This is poo from different pests. We will investigate what animals the poo has come from. Find out more about pests at:

Brian showed us a homemade trap. We have been designing our own traps.

As part of our inquiry, "what is in your backyard" we will be learning about what is in New Zealand's backyard. We will focus on one of the great walks -
The Routeburn Track:

It would be great if you could track walks that you do after school or at the weekend. Please take some pictures and describe the route. Please send these pictures to Nicola: nstevenson@worserbay.school.nz

Nicola started us off and walked 4km...

"I walked from Karori to Tory St. There are some great views on the way. It is mostly downhill. I saw a , but it flew away before I could take a photo of it."
