This term, we have focused our learning on Hauora and healthy communities. We have been busy thinking about what a community is, what places are important for us in our community and who we see.
Last week we watched a video which helped us learn a bit more about what a community could be. We then used SOLO hexagons to organise our thinking. This week, during our big class discussion, Mr Riceman challenged us to come up with a place or person in our community that begins with each letter of the alphabet. The ideas were flowing and we made it, the most challenging letters were Y (yoga studio), X (X-Ray) and Z (we included the Zoo in our wider Auckland community). We have included a picture of all of our thinking below.
Next, Mr Riceman asked us each to create something to show each of these letter. Some of us chose to use our new google drawing skills to create this, while others preferred pen and paper. These are coming together nicely and there are a few of these below for you to look at.

Finally, we are using this blog post to share this learning with you. Please have a look at our ideas then think, are there any other places that you could add? What is special to the community you are a part of?
Thanks for reading, we would love some positive, thoughtful and helpful feedback.
What a fabulous list of community places and people, Kaiwhare! I would have used Z = zebra crossing because my family uses them for getting to the other side of our busy roads. We also go to church (C) and the garden centre (G). I think your idea of the X-ray at the medical centre is very clever, Lewis. It's a pity we don't have a xylophone repair shop in our neighbourhood! ;)
